For Souls who must be Kept”

The sinners are taught 

Deny God love Him not

Serve the king and his chief

That’s your lone belief

 

The work that you do

It’s not for you

To the king pay your rent

Says the chief satan sent

 

For souls who must be kept

In a world of sin and regret

They live in dread obedience

To souls who must be kept

 

The Chief and his freaks

Wield the whip, beat the weak

They throw down some crumbs

The lost dine on rot scum

 

And it all seems so clear

To those who know fear

There’s no room for God,

Says the chief and his squad

 

For souls who must be kept

In a world of sin and regret

They live in dread obedience

To souls who must be kept
