One Foot In Hell

Regression, progressive downfall

Grabbing what' there and still wanting it all

On words they fall

Obsession, religious belief

Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week

One foot in hell

Taking the truth form the book and then twisting it

Feeling they're touched by the lord

Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin

But seeing no wrong

Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them

Walking the crooked strait line

Closing of minds to these innocents crimes

Now they're deaf, dumb, and blind

One foot in hell

Wretched, this pitiful man

Preaching and teaching with cross in hand

On words he falls

Into his final mistake

This fool was fooled, it was all give and take

One fool in hell

Taking the truth from the book and then twisting it

Turning the pages of writing, it falls into place

A puzzle of words

Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them

Attempting to fear the commandments they hear

But they're deaf, dumb, and blind

"I look to the heavens and call the lord's name

Praying on my knees, with much faith, and little doubt

I have a yearning for the answers to my calling in live

Am I wasting away on spirits of myth?

Am I questioning they lord's prayer?

Is this unholy temptation or, my final realization?

Please, God, if you're there for me, give me the wisdom for faith

Help me Lord

God help me"

Regression, progressive downfall

Grabbing what' there and still wanting it all

On words they fall

Obsession, religious belief

Worshipped on Sunday, forgotten all week

One foot in hell

Taking the truth form the book and then twisting it

Feeling they're touched by the lord

Loving their neighbor, yet tasting the flavor of sin

But seeing no wrong

Cramming the wisdom that righteously flows in them

Walking the crooked strait line

Closing of minds to these innocents crimes

Show me the way, point to the light

Is there a heaven after I die?

What is a truth, where does it lie?

Give me the answer

Bare my soul, naked and cold

End confusion, shed my last tear

Take me Lord, open your gates

End my deep sorrow

One foot in hell

Who's answering the bell?
