Since the dawn of men The lions in the den keep us afraid A fire or a flood will fall from above so count your days All the towns will turn to dust And the gold is left to rust, so they say With a pen full of rage John in a cage saw what he saw The mark of the beast will part the seas to find us all Now it's truth if you believe, ask you shall receive I read those holy books I poured through the pages Upon a closer look, I had a revelation I noticed there's a trend The world keeps spinning We've been talking bout the end Ever since the beginning A soul will search and build em' church to share his fear On the edge of the roads, a billboard swears "the end is near" The rich go build a bunkers I've seen the signs and wondered why I read those holy books I poured through the pages Upon a closer look, I had a revelation I noticed there's a trend The world keeps spinning We've been talking bout the end Ever since the beginning Yet the sun comes up again Yet the sun comes up again Someday we'll all look up and pray for love to change us We'll find the courage to be kind And then maybe, we ain't finished Hell, maybe this is just the beginning
