Man's becomin' more corrupt now, godless, wicked & cruel
|
The soulless man stood silenced, Mary's "words" rang so true
|
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, it's all through
|
Don't kill the messenger, girl
|
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of misery.
|
|
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
|
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
|
Swallowed lies & swam in our own tears
|
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
|
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time.
|
|
We've grown into the numbers, 666
|
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
|
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
|
Eclipse & heaven shall fall
|
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of misery.
|
|
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
|
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
|
Swallowed lies & swam in our own tears
|
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will.
|
|
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
|
And deep inside you know Adam was right
|
Lust & power, indulgence, no fear.
|
Left with his sins. How does this end?
|
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time.
|
|
As the prophets shedded light on what's to come the crowds did gather
|
Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, messiah's comin'
|
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
|
These will be our final days & I can't let go.
|
|
Walls are fallin' churches burnin' women ravaged, children cryin'
|
Flesh is tearin' some still fightin'
|
In this world of misery.
|
|
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
|
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
|
Swallowed lies & swam in our own tears
|
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will.
|
|
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
|
And deep inside you know Adam was right
|
Lust & power, indulgence, no fear
|
Left with his sins. How does this end?
|
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time.
