Wicket Turned To Ash
Image: Enveloped in an inferno of divine judgment, Satan screams in agony as flames consume him and his followers — both demons and condemned souls alike. Faces twisted in horror and regret claw toward the light that will never come. No escape remains, no plea is heard. This is the lake of fire, the second death foretold — where pride is silenced and the wicked are reduced to ash under the weight of eternal justice.
Verse 1
They rose in pride, they cursed His name —They built their thrones in smoke and flame.
They mocked the truth, they loved the lie —
Now fire rains down from the sky.
No armies stand, no shelters last —
Their kingdoms crumble, burned and passed.
Pre-Chorus
No sorcery, no strength, no spell —Can save the wicked bound for hell.
Chorus
The wicked turned to ash — beneath our feet,The fire consumes, their end complete.
Like Sodom's fate, their cities fall —
Devoured by flame, no hope at all.
The Judge has spoken, the sky ignites —
The wicked fall... in endless night.
Verse 2
The heavens blaze with holy wrath —Consuming all who miss the path.
Their gold, their fame — it cannot buy
Escape from fire falling high.
The Lamb has come, the Bride is crowned —
The rest are ash upon the ground.
Bridge
You shall tread them — cold and still,As ashes shaped by sovereign will.
As Sodom burned, so shall this age —
Engulfed in wrath, in fire, in rage.
Breakdown
"They shall be... as stubble...""The fire shall burn them... they shall not deliver themselves..."
"And the wicked... shall be ashes under the soles of your feet..."
"Fire came down... and devoured them..."
"This is the second death."
Final Chorus
The wicked turned to ash — by holy flame,Their legacies lost, erased their name.
The righteous stand, their faith refined —
While evil crumbles, judged in time.
The lake of fire, their final breath —
A crown of wrath, a throne of death.
Outro
"Ashes under your feet...""Sodom... reduced to ruin..."
"Fire from Heaven... devoured them..."
"And the fearful... the unbelieving... the abominable..."
"...shall have their part... in the lake of fire..."
