When I saw him I fell at his feet as though dead.

Then he placed his right hand on me and said:

“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold

I am alive for ever and ever!

And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” 



BRIDGE

Discard all remnants of malice

Deal with the remains of deceit

Annihilate all sense of hypocrisy

Leave it at the Keeper's feet 



REFRAIN

Benevolence riling malevolence

Grace prevailing over death

Reaping the life of such prevalence

Dead to death. 



“Follow me” said the Keeper as he walked the earth

“Let the dead bury their own dead”

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body

But cannot kill the soul.

Rather, be afraid of the one who can

Destroy both soul and body in Hell.” 



BRIDGE

Scrape out all feelings of envy

From slander your lips should be free

It's time to submit to the Keeper

Nail these things to the tree. 



REFRAIN
