Knock Knock

An answer to your prayer

Knock knock

Who's there?

It scratches at your door

It feebly weeps

And coarsely speaks

Until you hear no more

Knock Knock

Who's there?

A charming voice slithers

It sucks you in

Creates a sin

And then your hope it withers

KNock knock

Who's there?

The fear you start to smell

It pierces deep

Then starts to creep

Filling the empty well

Knock knock

Who's there?

Laughter you can hear

Inside it burns

Your stomach turns

Your eyes begin to tear

Knock knock

Who's there?

Your doubts begin to yell

They scratch your eyes

Ignore your cries

Your secrets they don't tell

Knock Knock

Who's there?

A tomb begins to rot

It strips your hope

Gives you a rope

A fight futile to be fought

Knock knock

Who's there?

Please open up the door

I cannot save

Or change your ways

Unless you give me more

Knock knock

Who's there?

I only need your heart

I'll take the sin

And enter in

Give you a brand-new start

Knock knock

Who's there?

A light that burns for all

The shadow hides

The devil cries

The demons start to crawl

Knock knock

Who's there?

My soul is yours to save

Big or small

He takes it all

And is risen from the grave
