Flesh Fragile Flesh

Lying dead
In catacombs
Cease in slumber
In your own home

Mortal wound
On the battlefield
Violent death
Upon final breath

Sinking down
In water deep
Pass beyond
In peaceful sleep

Burned alive
In roaring flame
Devoured alive
By feral game

Death comes for every man
Sin extracts its toll
Will you burn or reign above
When the body releases its soul

In a flash
Your fate is sealed
Far too late
To beg or kneel

Drifting through
The sacred veil
As your
Vital organs fall

Faithful ascend
To our God without end
The tears of the damned are a flood

Never to know
What Christ did bestow
To the faithful awash in his blood

Too late for salvation
The laws of God enforced
Spiritual death upon final breath
As life is detached from the source

Make your confession of faith
Leaving nothing to doubt
Baptized in the water of our living God
The vile and wicked cast out
