Signs Following

He used to preach
The end of time was near
Set your house in order
Before the Lord appears
Be not deceived
By Satan's demonry
Brethren
Let the Spirit lead

Some say the devil
Took a hold of him
That night
Spirits from the bottle
Led his soul awry
He forced her hand
Into the rattler's cage
Domestic violence
With a holy rage

Reach down, pick up
Have faith, live right
If you believe
Signs following
The snake will not bite

Twelve good apostles
Decided his fate
Ninety-nine to life
The judge proclaimed
But somewhere
On Sand Mountain
A woman needs no proof
That evil can lie
So close to truth
