The Lyrics

This is based on a comic that parodied one of Jack Chick’s evangelistic tracts. In the parody, a “born again” Christian dies, certain he will go to heaven because he had accepted Jesus as his personal lord and savior. But then he meets God, who has other ideas…

Well the key to my salvation
Was never in much doubt
I thought if I just said a prayer for my sins
That Jesus would come help me out

Certainty came easy for me
Peace of mind, not hard to find
I’d made Jesus my Lord and Savior, so
Heaven would surely be mine

I didn’t think much about it
Till I started coughing all the time
Soon I was living with the thought everyday
That I could die by that night

I had no fear because I knew that
Life in heaven was getting very close
I felt that this old husk at last had died on me
And I finally gave up the ghost

I thought that I’d see St. Peter
But it was just God there alone
Something seemed off, and it it made me afraid
As I got closer to his throne
Then I asked God where Jesus was
He looked me straight in the eyes, and said

“He's no son, he’s no son of mine
He’s no son, he’s no son of mine
He was weak, so I’ve left him behind
He is no son, he’s no son of mine”

Oh his words how they shocked me
I’ll never forget it
All those things I’d believed
Weren’t true, I don’t get it

“He's no son, he’s no son of mine”
And I had to know, how could it be true?
“He's no son, he’s no son of mine”
Now where will I go, and what will God do?

Still I said I’d been a Christian
I’d always prayed three times a day
Surely my name, it would be written down
In the Book of Life anyway

He let me go through all the pages
To my shock, they all were blank
Everyone who ever lived or will live
Was going to hell. Well, that stank.

I asked God how could he do this
How could he let believers fry
He told me that it gets him turned on
To hear the damned’s mournful cry
And Jesus won’t come to save me
God told me this one more time, he said

“He's no son, he’s no son of mine
He’s no son, he’s no son of mine
He’s in hell too, I’ve left him behind
He is no son, he’s no son of mine”

Oh his words how they shocked me
I’ll never forget it
And as I felt the fire burning
I screamed and I meant it

“He's no son, he’s no son of mine”
And that’s when I knew, I knew all too well
“He's no son, he’s no son of mine”
Like everyone else, I’d scream forever in hell
“He's no son, he’s no son, he’s no son of mine”

[Outro, with plenty of screaming]

You can read the parody Chick tract here. There are several parody tracts listed; “Scream For Your God” is the one that inspired this lyric. I figure the version of God in that comic probably got tired of the angel Gabriel at some point, and cast him and his trumpet into hell too. That would fit with the weird sound effects in the OS—Gabriel is still trying to play his horn, but he’s in extreme pain, so he sounds like a wounded elephant.
