  • Man's becoming more corrupt now, godless, wicked, and 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 'cause
    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 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, 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

    As the prophets shed the 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 Writer/s: Brian Haner Jr., James Sullivan, Matthew Sanders, Zachary Baker
