TALES FROM THE ENDS

TITLE: TALES FROM THE ENDS

[INTRO]

This ain’t entertainment.

This is warning.

The road tells stories.

The grave tells truth.

And after death
comes judgement.

Listen.

[VERSE 1]

Road tells tales on a rain-soaked block,
blue lights flash and the whole lane stops.
Another young face on a candle wall,
another RIP tee when the night turns cold.

Mandem laugh but the pain sits deep,
some don’t sleep when the house gets still.
Knife in the pocket, rage in the chest,
talking like death’s just part of the ends.

No, bro. Death ain’t normal, it’s judgement’s sign,
sin in the bloodstream since the dawn of time.
Cain in the field and the blood cried loud,
same cry rises from the city ground.

Gang life sells you a role and a code,
“Ride for your boys, never fold, stay bold.”
But the code can’t save when your lungs breathe last,
and the soul steps out from the body fast.

The street says “real”, but the real gets weighed,
not by the crew or the name you made.
By the holy God with the burning eyes,
who sees every hidden thing and lie.

[HOOK]

Road looks live
till the coffin shuts.
Die without Christ
and the fire don’t stop.

Only Jesus saves.
Only Jesus saves.
Repent right now,
don’t wait too late.

Hell is real,
but mercy still calls.
Christ shed blood
to rescue us all.

[VERSE 2]

Luke sixteen gave a serious scene,
rich man dead and the flames were keen.
Lazarus comforted, carried high,
rich man begging with a tortured cry.

One drop of water, one warning sent,
too late then for a life misspent.
No more flex, no more purple cloth,
no more pride when the soul gets lost.

That’s not a joke, that’s the Lord’s own word,
Christ Himself made the warning heard.
Not to frighten for the sake of fear,
but to wake dead hearts while grace is near.

Some man move like hell’s just slang,
laugh in the shop while they rep their gang.
But if you die in your sins unclean,
no postcode shield in that final scene.

Hebrews says once for man to die,
after that judgement, no alibi.
No bredrin there with a clever speech,
no solicitor the soul can reach.

Maybe you heard a testimony told,
someone saw flames and the terror cold.
Maybe you shrugged like “that’s not for me,”
but Scripture alone should make you see.

[HOOK]

Road looks live
till the coffin shuts.
Die without Christ
and the fire don’t stop.

Only Jesus saves.
Only Jesus saves.
Repent right now,
don’t wait too late.

Hell is real,
but mercy still calls.
Christ shed blood
to rescue us all.

[BRIDGE]

Memorial candles.

Prison visits.

Funeral suits.

Mothers crying.

The street is warning you already.

Listen before eternity does.

[VERSE 3]

I know the pressure, I know the style,
I know the need to look hard a while.
Father gone, food got thin,
pain grows loud and the road pulls in.

Role model issue, broken home maths,
hurt turns swagger, grief wears masks.
Society fears how you talk and dress,
writes you off with a postcode guess.

But hear this clearly, the Lord sees all,
He sees the wound and the sinful fall.
He sees the boy trying not to break,
and the darkness coiling behind the fake.

Jesus came low from Nazareth streets,
not silver spoon with elite-type speech.
Refugee child, rejected King,
still He came to redeem the thing.

He touched the broken, He loved the poor,
stood with the outcast at mercy’s door.
Then went to the Cross for the violent and proud,
for the one who can’t even pray out loud.

Nails in His hands for the blood we’ve spilt,
blood on the Cross for our shame and guilt.
He bore hell’s weight for all who’d turn,
took wrath so sinners won’t have to burn.

They buried Him once, but the stone moved wide,
third day morning, the King walked out alive.
Now the risen Christ gives one clear call:
Repent and believe before nightfall.

[FINAL HOOK]

Road looks live
till the coffin shuts.
Die without Christ
and the fire don’t stop.

Only Jesus saves.
Only Jesus saves.
Repent right now,
don’t wait too late.

Hell is real,
but mercy still calls.
Christ shed blood
to rescue us all.

[OUTRO]

No more pretending.

No more delaying.

No more “later”.

If you hear His voice,

turn now.

The road ends.

Eternity begins.

Jesus is Lord.
