Alive
throughout their lives they lied to all around.
there was no truth to be found.
they cheated every chance that they could
and with family, it mattered not if they should.
then one day it came to pass
that they was confronted by an angel from above
and they expected compassion and love.
the angel told them: to look around
at all the destruction that was found.
you have put all these people through
a living hell, and with each one you rang a bell.
a bell that you claimed was to all your successes
of cheating and conniving people out of the wordly goods
and that you did'nt even need a hood.
now you are at deaths door
and it's time to settle the score.
you are going to be given a chance to make things right
otherwise you won't live the night.
there are many here on earth
who have lived in filth and dirt.
they have struggled all their lives
and belittled by their fellow man
and now is their time to take a stand.
you must show them that with faith, all is achieved
and this will be one of your good deeds.
then you will build a house in the name of the lord
and you will not charge them room or board.
you will show them how to live
and to share, and to give
all that you have given to them
and how to become a friend.
now the angel showed them, that on that night
they lied, then they died from that old life
and they became alive in the power
and the glory of the greatest story.
THEY WERE REBORN!
