The children of darkness, are becoming more bold,
\nThey’re making it clear, they reject God’s fold.
\nSinging songs to Satan, they draw in the young,
\nThey deny the Lord, who on a Cross was hung.<\/p>\n

They sell their souls, to get fortune and fame,
\nBut when it comes to Jesus, they forget His Name.
\nDrugs sex and booze, it is all they care about,
\nBut for their own souls, they’re not looking out.<\/p>\n

Seeming like demons, tattooed, pierced and laced,
\nLiving meaningless lives, what a terrible waste.
\nJust a hopeless dark future, is all that I see,
\nIf they don’t turn to Jesus, they’ll never be free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
