Shai Linne - Letter from the Grave lyrics
[Shai Linne - Letter from the Grave lyrics]
My lifetime pastime
But now no more natural light
Shines - flat line
Just as I was dissing his name
I'm hit with the flames as my
Soul left my physical frame
Frightened, my senses heightened
Defenseless against this relentless lightning
A stampede of thunder claps, I can't breathe
It's like I'm running laps
With my lung collapsed
I can't leave - I'm stuck and trapped
Meanwhile, I am no longer senile
The life I lived in the body
That feels like the dream now
And I've awakened to a real life nightmare
It's quite clear - no use
Putting up a fight here
My destiny is sealed a true catastrophe
With future agonies that have
Yet to be revealed
And that thought alone is such a
Blow to me- it's terrible
Because what I'm feeling right
Now is totally unbearable
I'm disembodied, met my worst fear mentally
Every second like a year
Every year a century no one that I can call
I'm crushed under a wall
Of holy fury, amazed by the justice of it all
Getting what I deserve
In fact my soul is burning black
I've crossed over the threshold
Never to be saved
Eternal is the furnace and it
Ain't no turning back oh God
Just let me send my fam
A letter from the grave!
My conscience is killing me
Like a worm that never dies
Like a worm that never dies
Having plunged fist first into a fixed
State of horror and agony
Mr Michaels attempts to gather his
Bearings as he scrambles
To find a way to warn his family
Little does he know, as sincere as he may be
His following efforts are sadly in vain
Oh, God oh, God, I'm in agony right now
I'm in agony in this fire
Please, can I - can I just warn my family
Please,? Can I just warn my family?
Just let me go back! If I can't go back
Let me write them a letter
Or let me dictate it!
I'll dictate it, please,!
Just write this down for me, please,!
To my parent, my sisters, my cousins
My nieces
Friend, co-workers- everybody needs
To read this
You probably thinking I'm in heaven
Smiling down upon you
But that's not true - I'm writing
This now to warn you
I'm serious - wish I could put
A gun to your face
Whatever it takes to make you listen
Don't come to this place
I made tons of mistakes when I
Was there with y'all certainly
The worst by far was
Not preparing for eternity
It's crazy- I don't even know
How to tell y'all but, I'm in hell, y'all
And I know it's upsetting to hear
It's upsetting to be here
But, I write so you'd get it and see clear
I don't have all the answers
I grope for more
But there are a couple of things
That I know for sure re-incarnation is a lie
"There's no such thing as Satan" - lie!
Getting to heaven through meditation
That's a lie
Yo it's vital we build, homicidal I feel
Your pride will be killed - the
God of the Bible is real
Y'all know - I ain't read the
Bible a day in my life
But He's the one who's inflicting all
My pain and my strife
So get a Bible and read it
Whatever you read - believe it
After believing, eat it, sleep it
And breathe it there's much more to this man
Jesus - observe the story
And I can tell you that there's
No such thing as purgatory
What I wouldn't give to have your opportunity
I see my pride has ruined me
Ignoring God is lunacy
There's no comfort, all shame, no peace
There's no slumber, all pain, it don't cease
So don't be lax when
Attacked with distractions
The fashions and attractions had me relaxing
Now I'm awake for the first time ever
But from the goodness of
God's works I'm severed
Regretting all the tracts that I
Threw in the trash
Regretting moving fast in pursuit of the cash
Regretting spending all my
Life trusting myself
Regretting not reading the Bible
Up on my shelf
Regretting all the stuff in life
That had me caught up
Regretting switching the subject when
Christ was brought up
Regretting not going to church when
My friends invited me
Regretting believing my college profs
Who lied to me
Regretting dismissing all believers as lame
Regretting not examining Jesus' claims
Regretting
