the good struggle, their souls are always tested

the good struggle, their souls are always tested

temptation pierces flesh down to the bone

the bad are fine, their minds already bested

their foreheads burnt with mark so crimson crested

the difference 'tween the two is overblown

the good struggle, their souls are always tested

and guilt weighs heavy 'pon those fallen chested

humility runs rampant, always shown

the bad are fine, their minds already bested

feeling contempt for them, the good detested

the sinful seeds they've planted become grown

the good struggle, their souls are always tested

eating their tears, their guilt is full ingested

in prayers tearing, pleading with their moans

the bad are fine, their minds already bested

so unaware their souls have been digested

the devil will pursue those not his own

the good struggle, their souls are always tested

the bad are fine, their minds already bested
