Your Soul Is Mine

Now you've heard it all, you've walked the whole road from the startFrom the first light I blew out to the last door locked and barredYou've heard the one who chose me, heard him pounding at the gateAnd you're thinking, "That's not me, I've still got time, it isn't late"

And that's exactly what he said, every word and every daySo go on and think it over, I'll be waiting either way

Your soul is mineEvery day you won't repentYour soul is mineEvery hour that you've spentTurning from His lightHardening your heartYour soul is mineAnd I'll seal it in the darkAnd I'll seal it in the dark

If you're not the Good Shepherd's sheep, then tell me whose fold you're inThere's only two to follow, and I'm the shepherd over sinEvery evil work you do, you're writing down my nameAnd I'll pay you out my wages, and my wages never change

Do you think I don't believe in Him? I tremble at His nameThe difference is you still can turn, and I will stay the same

Your soul is mineEvery day you won't repentYour soul is mineEvery hour that you've spentTurning from His lightHardening your heartYour soul is mineAnd I'll seal it in the dark

I hold a great chain in my hand, it veils the face of the earthAnd I look up and laugh, and my angels laugh at everything you're worthThere's a door out of my darkness, and I won't pretend there's notIt's repentance, and it's open, and it's the only door you've gotBut you won't walk through it, will you? You'll just wait another dayAnd I'll be standing at the end of it to carry you away

Your soul is mineEvery day you won't repentYour soul is mineEvery hour that you've spentTurning from His lightHardening your heartYour soul is mineAnd I'll seal it in the dark

Your soul is mineUnless you turnBut you won't
