Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Deuteronomy 18:10 - 11
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
"Backyard Necromancers" is a fiery and unapologetic rap track that calls out the modern normalization of occult practices and the entertainment industry's role in desensitizing society to its dangers. Drawing on the biblical warnings of Deuteronomy 18:10-12, which strictly forbids divination, sorcery, and necromancy, the song rebukes the glamorization of witchcraft, psychics, and ghost hunting in movies, TV shows, and video games. It confronts the spiritual dangers of engaging in these practices, echoing Revelation 21:8, which declares that sorcerers and idolaters will face eternal judgment in the lake of fire.
​
The verses expose the subculture of occult fascination that thrives today—Ouija boards, Tarot cards, palm readings, and paranormal investigations—while reminding listeners that these practices are not harmless entertainment but gateways to spiritual darkness. The song also incorporates the redemptive message of Romans 6:14, proclaiming that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers can overcome the chains of sin and the lure of the occult.
​​
With sharp lyrics and a hard-hitting beat, "Backyard Necromancers" delivers a powerful message: society must turn away from the darkness and embrace the light of Christ before judgment comes. The song is a wake-up call for those entangled in the occult, urging repentance and salvation through the blood of Jesus. Bold and uncompromising, this track stands as both a warning and an invitation to choose life over death, truth over lies, and salvation over damnation.
Lyrics
[Verse]
They glamorize the dark, playin' with fire,
TV screens flicker, feedin' desires,
Witches and wizards, they castin' their spells,
Summonin' spirits, openin' the gates of hell,
Ouija boards got you talkin' to the unseen,
Whisperin', makin' the obscene clean,
They dress it up pretty, make it all fun,
But the wrath's comin' quick, no place left to run.
[Verse]
Ghost huntin' shows got you thinkin' it's cool,
Talkin' to demons, breakin' every rule,
Tarot cards flippin', palms readin' lies,
But the truth’s in the Word, don’t be hypnotized.
Deuteronomy warned, but they closed their ears,
Now the echoes of hell are drawin' them near,
Revelation's clear, their fate is sealed,
No magic or chant’s gonna get them healed
[Pre-Chorus]
They play with death like it’s just a game,
But the fire they kindle is callin' their name,
Judgment’s on the horizon, can't you see?
Messin’ with spirits ain’t the way to be free
[Chorus]
Backyard necromancers, lost in the game,
Chasin' the shadows, but they're playin' with flames,
Dealin' with darkness, but the light's on its way,
Judgment's comin' quick, there’s a price to pay.
[Verse]
They talk to the Elohim, thinkin' they’re wise,
But it's demons in disguise, spewin' lies,
Palm readers claim they see your fate,
But they walk in darkness, openin’ hell's gate.
The culture’s polluted, drenched in sin,
But His grace is sufficient, we still can win,
Turn from the darkness, step into the light,
Leave the occult, and fight the good fight
[Verse]
Revelation's written, the lake of fire's real,
For the sorcerers and cowards, it's the final deal,
No second chances, no room for grace,
For those who dance with demons, there’s no hiding place.
They summon the spirits, they think they're in control,
But they’re losin’ their soul, diggin' their own hole.
So I’m callin’ it out, rebukin' the sin,
Turn back to the Lord, let His light in
[Pre-Chorus]
They play with death like it’s just a game,
But the fire they kindle is callin' their name,
Judgment’s on the horizon, can't you see?
Messin’ with spirits ain’t the way to be free
[Chorus]
Backyard necromancers, lost in the game,
Chasin' the shadows, but they're playin' with flames,
Dealin' with darkness, but the light's on its way,
Judgment's comin' quick, there’s a price to pay.
[Verse]
Evil’s seductive, but it leads to despair,
The darkness deceives, but God’s always there,
The blood of the Lamb breaks every chain,
Call on His name, escape the flame.
They promise you power, but it’s a lie,
Every spell you cast makes your spirit die,
The cross stands firm while kingdoms fall,
Through Jesus alone, He redeems us all.
[Outro]
Backyard necromancers, your time is up,
You played with fire, now drink from the cup,
Judgment is comin', no place to hide,
Repent now, or face the fire inside
