Lyrics
Listen brothers and sisters
Addressing a diverse audience, calling out to everyone
Children and parents
Referring to a wide range of relationships
I will tell you of a man who has fallen
Introducing a story about a fallen man
Who will be our culling
Possibly asking who will be punished or eliminated
Who has walked to death and back
Describing the extreme lengths the man has gone through
Just to take us away
His actions were to take others away or cause harm
Those of you who've wronged others
Addressing those who've wronged others, warning them
And those who will
Referring to future wrongdoers
You best repent
Advising to seek repentance
Pray to your god for forgiveness
Suggesting to pray for forgiveness
Pray you sprout wings now
Metaphorically suggesting a need for miraculous intervention
Cause theres no telling
Uncertainty about the timing of consequences
When he'll be here for you
Warning about an impending arrival for retribution
Suspend your believe
Encouraging suspension of disbelief
Just for a moment
Asking for imaginative engagement
And imagine that theres a man
Introducing a conceptual figure who keeps track of sins
Who has counted
Implying meticulous observation
Every one of your sins
Suggesting accountability for actions
He does not forget
Emphasizing a lack of leniency
He does not forgive
Portraying an entity without forgiveness
He is the alfa
Referring to the beginning and end, symbolizing completeness
And omega
Symbolizing a comprehensive entity
You do not fear
Assuring lack of fear despite consequences
Your feeble mind
Emphasizing limited comprehension
Couldn't fathom
Implying the magnitude of the situation
That we hang
Suggesting a precarious situation
In the balance
Highlighting imminent judgment
That he's on his way
Warning of an approaching entity
And the day that he returns
Emphasizing the day of reckoning
The following dawn shall be
Symbolizing impending darkness or doom
Black
No content
He's nothing but a Jonah
Using a biblical reference for someone who brings misfortune
Giving that ole evil eye
Describing a gaze that brings negative consequences
That'd bring the hoodoo outta ya
Suggesting the potential for invoking supernatural harm
His hexes will bring you to your knees
Referring to the effects of curses or hexes
Make you wish you luck had run out
Implying a wish for an earlier demise than facing consequences
That you'd die before you met em
Warning against encountering the described character
He's a
Reiteration of the character's identity as a jinx
Jinx
Final confirmation of the character's name or nature
