God Told Me To

My name is John Johanna, I am misunderstood

Lately, I have been accused of grievous murder in cold blood

My mission is most righteous, my cause is true and just

The wicked need chastisement, you know it?s either them or us

God told me to

I did what I had to do

'Cuz God told me to

All around me, empty chatter, the wise men wring their hands

Meanwhile in broad daylight Satan gathers his unholy bands

The mighty strength of angels carries me on my seeking flight

My anger is a hammer, you know not its power or the hour it strikes

God told me to

I answer not to them or you

'Cuz God told me to

Seven golden candles flaming bring forth the Son of Man

In his mouth a two edged sword, seven stars shining in his right hand

The beast has eyes before him, the beast has eyes behind

Those not with me are against me, they?re surely gonna feel my holy fire

God told me to

To thine own self be true

And God told me to

God told me to

I?m just doing what I had to do

'Cuz God told me to

And God told me to
