Poem
The Eternal Fires of Damnation Should you believe in heaven Must you then believe in hell For those who do not believe The eternal fires of damnation For all the innocents must believe In what we the “churches” tell them And to save their souls From torture And to save ourselves We will grant their lives into the hereafter And leave them to suffer Alone on the Earth by themselves For them the eternal fires of damnation For us the acquired gold and wealth of centuries And we offer to none an apology For our past of fanatical brutality Our pious and obscured indoctrinations Of religious and twisted Christianity Our celibacy of sex A portrait of ages spent in the witch hunt And the wages of their “unforgiven” sin This punishment to which we attest Rejected from the arms of Gods enduring and eternal love Cast into the eternal fires of damnation Into the living burning everlasting pits of brimstone hell This our love we do confess This our love and care for the work of God And the saving of “our” souls From “their” torture Two thousand years of ritual Two thousand years of Papal evil Two thousand years of damnation's eternal fires All to answer the elite superiority of an inquisitions question And every single name is engraved in blood Every innocent hood winked by accusation For these are our political reasons The lies of power, control and wealth To succour our own comfort To dine and gorge without need While the poor and the hungry Have nothing but ignorance on which to feed Two thousand years of the churches use and abuse Of humanity So join us now in the ever-loving arms Repent with us now and return to the church Absolve yourself of your “inherited” sin Otherwise we shall condemn you To the eternal fires of damnation Repent confess and you will be forgiven Kneel before this alter and ask “Us” not “God” to absolve you “Tell me then Holy Mother Church; and I do not divide these words from those who follow Allah. Tell me, tell the world, tell all humanity. When will you apologise and pay your penance, when will you atone for the centuries of violence, blood and murder done in the name of your religion?”
