I know I've sinned with no remorse
Apocalyptic visions went through my head
Here today, gone tomorrow..."

Bonus #Joke
A man joined a cloistered order, and one of the things he noticed was that the same food was served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Also, all the meals were eaten in silence except for one elderly monk who would say "Hebrews, Chapter 13 verse 8" before every meal.

After a week or so of this ritual, he was intrigued and decided to look up this passage in the Bible.

When he did, he burst out laughing because it said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever!"

Photo of two monks, seated in small folding chairs on some grass, one behind the other. The one in the rear is bending forward and holding some of the rope used to tie the other monk's robe shut as a belt. It appears he is trying to tie it around the back of the chair. Meme text reads, "When good monks go bad."
