What is it friend that you have found
Thou violator of God’s law?
Is it indeed you’re loosed, unbound,
And mercy, you may truly draw?

You say you are? But hold a bit
There are conditions e’re you shout,
If you obey, I see, is writ,
You’ve obligations e’re your out.

Ah, yes my friend if you accept
Most certainly you have to pay.
The Devils have a foul concept
That love will not demand some way.

For help to freedom in Gods law
You must a just allegiance swear.
On this condition you may draw
Or else somehow you must forebear.

When It Dawns Upon His Reason
There Is Pardon For His Treason
