Man's becoming more corrupt now, godless, wicked, and cruel
|
The soulless man stood silenced, Mary's word rang so true
|
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, its all through
|
Don't kill the messenger 'cause
|
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of misery
|
|
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
|
Feel sorrow for mankinds's chance to survive
|
Swallowed lies and 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 number six hundred sixty six
|
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
|
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
|
Eclipse and 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 and swam in our own tears
|
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
|
|
|
Dust the apple off, I'll savour each bite
|
And deep inside you know Adam was right
|
Lust and 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 shed their light on what's to come the crowds did gather
|
Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, messiah's coming
|
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in your arms
|
These will be our final days and I can't let go
|
|
Walls are falling, churches burning, women ravaged, children crying
|
Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
|
In this world of misery
|
|
Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
|
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
|
Swallowed lies and 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 and 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
