I. Warning Note

Your heart, I have seen
Your sorrowful heart

He would outwit them
As always, He’d done
Master has power, inestimable
He can’t be o’erpowered
So, good trade this’ll be
These were your thoughts
Yes, so right you were.
They won’t keep Him back
No, death and grave can’t
This, he told you

Your heart, I see
Your sorrowful heart

To repent,
To hope
Let it lead you
How did you learn?
All your failings, He forgave
Even this, will pass

Go not that way
The way of death
It’s the Serpent calling

II. Suicide Letter

Haunt me no more
Let me, rest take
Let me, this way go
Lest I be vexed to death
With the torment of shame
The sting of reproach
The curse of requital
Nay, the judgment
That of condemnation

Haunt me no more
Death must receive me
Now, it must receive me

III. Rejoinder in Death

O son of perdition,
Son of rebellion
How I longed
To, from your ways, turn you
Calling and calling
Lucifer filled your heart
Him you gave a foot
A foot and a hold
And now, your foot
In his hold
Will forever be
