Stairway to Hell

Verse 1
There’s a lady of state, with a birth bond she sells,
And she’s buying a stairway to hell.
When she signs with her hand, it’s a debtor’s command,
And her personhood falls for the spell.

Verse 2
Ooh, it makes her wonder…
Ooh, it makes her wonder…
The lawyers all scheme, with their titles and dreams,
But the truth is a fountain of grace.
Yes, the Devil’s their scribe, in his court they reside,
Yet the Lamb opens heaven’s gate.

Chorus
And she’s buying a stairway to hell,
With her state surname she fell.
But the Christian walks free,
By God’s grace, no fee—
And the Spirit breaks the spell.

Verse 3
There’s a debt on the books, in the ledgers they cook,
It was nailed on the cross long ago.
At the fork in the road, one is heavy with load,
But the other is mercy to know.

Bridge (slow build)
Your birth bond’s a token, the state’s lie is spoken,
But the contract was void at the start.
Isaiah declared it, James chapter five bared it,
The rich hoard, but God knows each heart.

Chorus
Yes, you’re climbing a stairway to hell,
If you trust in the birth-bond they sell.
But the path of the Son
Is the free-grace one,
And His water of life breaks the spell.

Outro (anthemic rock climax)
And as we wind on down the road,
The birth-name mask is bought and sold,
But Christ restores what state has stole—
The free of charge, redeemed soul!

Final line (soft)
And she’s buying… a stairway… to hell.Might As Well Jump (Into Grace)

Verse 1
I get up—this birth bond weighs me down,
They sold my name,
The state made me wear a crown.
But I know, brother, just how it feels,
You got to roll with the system,
Or leap to what’s real!

Pre-Chorus
Ah, can’t you see me standin’ here?
Back against the paper scheme,
I ain’t the worst they’ve seen—
But I’ve found the King of kings!

Chorus
Might as well jump (jump!)
Might as well jump!
Go ahead and jump (jump!)
Leap into Grace and jump!

Verse 2
Hey you—legal name trap!
Who said that? Baby, you’ve been had.
You say you don’t know,
You won’t know ’til you begin,
Forsake the fiction,
And let His Spirit in!

Pre-Chorus
Ah, can’t you see me standin’ here?
With my back against the debtor machine,
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen—
But His grace makes me clean!

Chorus
Might as well jump (jump!)
Go ahead and jump!
Might as well jump (jump!)
Leap into Christ and jump!

Bridge (chanting)
Jump from the bond!
Jump from the fraud!
Jump to the cross!
Jump into God!

Outro
Jump! (into free grace!)
Jump! (out the debtor place!)
Jump! (no surname face!)
Jump! (Christ wins the race!)
