I refuse to fear God if it leads to one of three seeds
I was taught to believe it is love with which the Sacred Heart bleeds
To fear God or to love him, which choice is my fate?
Is it a sin to affix to God's skin the first seed of hate?
I will not conspire to breathe life in contempt's fire
That can't be the song the Lord sang to his choir
Does Jesus not love me? Should I reciprocate?
Will I offend him with this blasphemic debate?
Damned either way to fall through the fiery portal
Existing forever is not what makes souls immortal
It is rather that the spirit of what you believe never dies
And I want so badly to believe unconditional love never lies
