Evil and Hate Did Congregate
Evil and hate came up with a plan, "Love has beaten us time after time, So hate made a plan, which included vice, "The cardianl virtues have got to go," Treachery and deceit were wild and about, Money was rabid and life was gold, But faith and prayer didn't quiver, Greed and interest were captains of crime, Sorrow and gloom wrote a radio tune, Povert, want, and avenging care, Anger was, then, in his prime, Vanity inflated self respect, that rage and fry could stop the show, Fame and shame were just the same, Greed and grab were at the top, Hate decided to cripple Love, He then committed the unpardonable sin, When hope had heard what hurt had done, With love in a coma and down for the count, When doubt saw hope cry and angel's tear, Now hope was gone and to seal man's fate, Now faith alone held the line, Prayer was forbidden in a public place, The father of lies then ruled the globe, But there was a flaw left in his plan, You see, love is immortal and cannot die, And love can't be where evil roam, Hope then gave a cheer of glee, The fallen angels marched two by two, After evil and hate, the closed the gate, For our saviour had come to end the pain, ~K.G. Robichaux~
to stop love from spreading through the land.
and the few souls we've got is really a crime."
who called in lust to help in the fight.
so the seven deadly sins joined the show.
justice was murdered and virtues drugged out.
hunger and famine were taking their toll.
for they knew that God would soon deliver.
with money to boot, they did just fine.
while terror danced by the midnight moon.
had to court gluttony to get their share.
with no one left to stop his crimes.
and conceit himself was taking bets,
by becoming the slaves of vengence's woe.
and honesty and truth were just two names.
and work and toil their knees did drop.
by giving hurt to the Holy Dove.
that no prayers on earth could hope to win.
to love's bedside she began to run.
hope got scared and began to doubt.
he laughed with glee 'cause the end was near.
Evil himself would snuff faith out.
and evil was working, double overtime.
and to be seen on your knees was a pure disgrace.
and no grace on earth could break his hold.
'cause truth crushed to earth will rise again.
and exists in all places on earty and sky.
so Hell was built so he could have a home.
and to Hell was cast earth's misery.
to a place not meant for me and you.
banished together, a fitting fate.
and the souls of the faithful, heaven did gain.
