lyrics

The Taunting of Vapula

Playing this dangerous game
Daring the demon to show his face
An open invitation to came out and play

You believe it has no power over you
But the one who answered knows his way
Vapula: the lion with griffin wings

Consult with the spirits
Don’t anger the souls
The secret to living is knowing your role
Careful what you wish for
It just might come for you
He’s coming for you

Hiding behind a deity
Taunting the Devil carelessly

Consult with the spirits
Don’t anger the souls
The secret to living
Is knowing your role
Careful what you wish for
It just might come for you
He’s coming for you
Nothing that you can do

The next time you close your eyes
Your only wish will be that you could die
The next time you close your eyes
The next time you fantasize
Better never close your eyes
Your real pain begins the moment you die

Walk with me
It’s time you saw what awaits you
Please don’t mind the smell
Burning flesh and styling gel
Lawyers to the left; Bankers to the right
Take a walk through the burning night
Take a walk with me through The Ashen Gates
You invoked me
Called out for anyone to respond and I answered you
But you taunted me
Calling on Christ to save you

Demon Choir:
(Everything that can stand the fire,
We shall pass through the flame,
And it shall be clean
And it shall be clean) (Numbers 31:23)

You will suffer
You will beg
(I don’t belong here)
I’m the one who will break you
(I’m already there)
His will is done through me
And I’ll save you
Save you from yourself

(Everything that can stand the fire,
We shall pass through the flame,
And it shall be clean
And it shall be clean) (Numbers 31:23)

I am the fire that burns everything away
(No He won’t let me burn)
(Haven’t I been faithful in every imaginable way?)

You will suffer; You will beg
(I don’t belong here)
I’m the one who will break you
(I’m already broken)
His will is done through me
And I’ll save you
And I’ll save you
Save you from yourself
From Yourself

Take a peek behind the veil
Feel the flames melt the flesh away

He has no use for you
You belong to me now
Until you’re purified

Red Letter Section:
Depart from me
I never knew you
Depart from me
There’s nothing to you

When I was weak did you comfort me
When I was alone did you try to see if you could help me
I suffered right before your eyes

Depart from me
Depart from me; I never knew you

(Lord, when did we see you lonely and fail to meet your need?)

You fail the least of these then you’ve also failed me
What did you think my words to mean.

You never understood a thing I ever said
I set the bar much higher than your churches ever preached
When they strike you, turn the other cheek
I wasn’t joking about all that you see
Why couldn’t you turn your hearts to me

Depart form me; I never knew you
Shallow and weak; There’s nothing to you
Why were you here if not to comfort the weak
Depart from me; I never knew you

My righteous anger is an all consuming fire
You’ll learn to fear me after you burn for a while
The torches of Hell will light the way to your redemption

(Lord when did we see you hungry and fail to meet your need?)

And when you failed the least of these, the least of these…
Then you also failed me.

And then I will declare to them, I never knew
you; depart from me, you workers of
Iniquity! (Matthew 7:23)

Depart from me I never knew you
Shallow and weak, there’s nothing to you
Why were you here if not to comfort the weak
Indeed, I never knew you
