The flames of hell lap all around us, each and every day
The devil slowly sets his trap and sits back waiting for his prey
We wake up in the morning running late no time to stop and pray
Road rage creeps up on us as we rush to get to work
We turn up the radio in hopes of blocking out the world
Instead it fills the car with images of death and destruction
We think of our children and how to keep them safe from all the evils of the world
The government tells them they can’t simply be children anymore
They can’t tease one another or play with caps and guns
or they can be expelled from school
Child predators have more rights than us
They can live in our communities and walk among our children
yet we cannot do a thing
Abortion is a right that too many women choose
They can murder unborn children and walk free upon the earth
The doctors that perform them are paid with our tax money
yet we cannot do a thing
Yet take a loving father who protects his home and family
from a burglar breaking in -
he can spend a lifetime in prison -
all because he owned a gun
Our churches claim to be a haven for all who seek
yet once inside the church human nature rears its ugly head
We put Christ on the back burner and His love is slowly lost
So intent are we upon the rules and regulations
that those who need the love of Christ
we can no longer see
Tolerance and acceptance of all is what our government teaches
But in reality this doesn’t apply to you or me
if we believe in Christ
You can put rap music on the radio filled with words of hate for all
They talk of rape and killing cops
yet receive accolades from all
But if I express my thoughts that all of life is sacred and
abortion and homosexuality are wrong
then I risk being thrown in jail
Each time our rights are violated and we let it happen without any fight
Then we are only opening the door to let Satan further in
The gates of hell they rumble as God’s tears slowly fill the earth
His heart is slowly breaking each time we turn our backs
"Please my little children won’t you step up and take a stand?
Can’t you see what this corruption is doing to our land?
Each time that you choose to let things like this slide
you push Me further and further from your lives"
As the world becomes more willing to accept the wrong as right
or the bad as good - we need to stop and listen to the sounds rumbling from below
If you listen very carefully, you’re sure to hear it too
It’s the sound of evil laughing loud at all we do
Satan rears his ugly head and says "You do my job for me.
I set the trap and sit back and watch as you let the world around you
be destroyed with words like tolerance and acceptance of all that is immoral"
The flames of hell lap all around us, each and every day
