Death and the grave,
The end point for the body.
Death and the grave,
The end for the light of day.

In righteousness,
The soul find peace with his Maker.
In filthiness,
The body burns in the fire.

For how long will the fire last
"Forever" said the Bible
Does it burn fast?
No, the torment is slow and stable

Death is in the tongue.
Unconsciously,
Some confess it with their tongue
Before their time is due.

Death and the grave is for all
One by one
We will all answer the call
Whether prepared or not

Your belief,
Will either stand against you
Or give you relief,
From the torment.
