Warning

Be not so gluttonous with your wanton desires
Be not so greedy that you stand there alone
Be not so evil as to burn others with fires
For all of these sins you must surely atone

Bear witness to redemption so offered to you
A kingdom before you, it lays there and waits
Give up devil’s actions and hold your heart true
The time it approaches, my friends now make haste
