One step!
One step!

As I witness the death of innocence
A predator feeding on its creation
Through the fallout of this hallucination
I walked into darkness

Must not surrender my God to anyone
Or this body will become carrion

One step closer
One step closer to my fate
One step closer
One step closer to the grave

As I witness my own degeneration
The future condemns me

Must not surrender my God to anyone
Or this body will become carrion

One step closer
One step closer to my fate
One step closer
One step closer to the grave

One!
One!

One step closer, one step closer
One step closer to my fate

One step closer
One step closer to my fate
One step closer
One step closer to the grave

One step closer (to my fate)
One step closer (to my fate)
One step closer (to my fate)
One step closer to the grave

Be assured, that if you do not hearken and repent, God intends to show his wrath, and make his power known upon you. He intends to magnify himself exceedingly in sinking you down in Hell. He intends to show his great majesty at the day of judgment, before a vast assembly, in your misery; before a greater assembly many thousand fold than ever yet appeared on earth; before a vast assembly of saints, and a vast assembly of wicked men, a vast assembly of holy angels, and before all the crew of devils. God will before all these get himself honor in your destruction; you shall be tormented in the presence of them all.
–Jonathan Edwards–

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face;
my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
–Psalm 27:8 (KJV)–

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
–Psalm 28:1-2 (KJV)–

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
–Psalm 29:4-5 (KJV)–

–Matthew 23:9 (NKJV)–

⁹ When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. ¹² For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.
–Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (NKJV)–

So much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant…He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
–Hebrews 7:22, 25 (NKJV)–

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 
that the man of God may be complete.
–2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV)–
