Be careful what you claim

You say you’re a Christian, but won’t interfere
What does it matter you state with a sneer.
You blaspheme with Noah’s covenant sign
Light up your house with apostasies design

You celebrate loss and the cheapness of flesh
Love sending money to the proponents of death
But won’t tolerate men calling evil extreme
You say they are merely disturbing dreams

At the tower you swore an oath of defiance
On man you said we place our reliance
You chose this oath from a prophet of late
Yet to choose this passage it was a mistake

You circumvent law whenever you can
But your opponent- is not a mere man
So humble yourself while there is time
You’re not all-right, I hear the clock chime
