Highway to the Grave
JRL Dec 2024
Highway to the grave
To the chambers of death

He has no sense following her to the slaughter
Seductive words led him astray
Breaking the covenant with his eyes,
drinking deeply of lust - seduced by smooth talk

Persuasive, O so persuasive
          she led him astray
                it will cost him his life

Many victims she has slaughtered
Unruly, defiant and brazen
In the dark of night she seeks out her prey

Highway to the grave
To the chambers of death

Seductive words never sounded so bitter,
knowing lust will cost him his life.

This is a warning.
Act on temptation drinking deeply of lust
It will cost you your life

Turn away from the
        Highway to the grave
        From the chamber of death

Keep the covenant with your eyes
Fortify your heart
Keep His commands and you will live.
From Proverbs 7 (NIV)

v1.
**** the meritocracy
Saturate the ranks with ignorance
Put your precocious notions to rest
Earning no honor - this is the death of thought

v2.
The claim is equality
but suppression and abject discrimination reigns supreme
The gods of narcissism and pride overwhelm
Deception is the accepted norm
No regard for truth
       No regard for truth
              No regard for truth

c.
Fear is the beginning of knowledge
Fuel fear - be silent and know:
We are one nation under God.
The beginning is here, the beginning is now
Death to yourself in regard for truth

v3.
Separatists.
The elites claim love, but greed fuels desire
No satisfaction in embracing the lie
Disseminating egregious lies to the young and vulnerable
A millstone awaits your fiery eternity
     Death to yourself - no regard for truth
