Inferno
You call me evil, the infidel or worse
But I'm your brother, aren't I?
Made in the same image of the same
God of us both
I believe in things as strongly as you
I believe my cause is as just
That God is on my side, not yours
And if I say you must die
And you say I must die
Then either one of us is right
God choosing between two parts of Himself
Or both of us are wrong
And even God may never forgive us.
