1.) The church got left open, and somebody crept in, ordained for the judgement of ungodly men. / Inside job: search it out and deploy. Wait for the moment, then rise and destroy. / Spiritual actors, with axes to grind, they're checking out the bodies and messin' the minds. / Nothin they won't say, nothin they won't do. They're comin' for Christmas, they're comin' for you: WATCH OUT!
CHORUS #1.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (Special assignment when there's lies to tell.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (They'll swear by the blackness with a story from hell.) Offerring you pleasure, for whatever you crave. / They'll promise you freedom, but they'll make you a slave, WATCH OUT!
2.) If you don't serve God, there's really nothing to fear. / They'll count on your vote, and they'll buy you a beer. / But if you love Jesus, and you're faithful and bold, / They'll set you a trap, try to cut you down cold. / Greedy like Balaam, and proud like Cain, / their reservations in darkness have already been made. / Wandering stars, lost in the night. / Rebellious like Korah, they've come for a fight: WATCH OUT!
CHORUS #2.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (Waterless clouds, dead autumn trees.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (Wild foaming waves, hidden reefs.) Beautiful tombs, full of dead mens bones. / When you slip and fall, they'll be there with their stones: WATCH OUT!
(Instrumental interlude.)
3.) Pearched in high places, like vultures they wait. / They wore their high collars to the local crusade. / Their doctrine is slippery, their deeds they are gross. / But their judgement's coming, don't be standing too close: WATCH OUT!
CHORUS #3.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (You'ld better contend, you'ld better stand guard.) Certain lewd fellows of the baser sort. (Teaching your children, stealing them right out of your yard.) The warning's been sounded, the warning is clear. / Contend for the gospel, continue in prayer, WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT! WATCH OUT!
