Feels Like The End. Adam and Eve fell Now we're all damned to hell Under condemnation from the time that we're one cell Now a cursed and crooked world is where we all dwell We're worshiping false gods and images We're criminals on the run, we're diligent In building our own villages, sinned again, carcinogen A certified citizen, certainly equivalent The evidence is evident, my body's lacking discipline Lyrically I'm intricate, legitimately listening Cause the end is imminent Everyone is villainous Everyone is hypocrites There is not one innocent It started all in Genesis With the bitter truth And this is it, this is it I am not a physicist But Eve came from an Adam The precipitant of wickedness The vividness of sinfulness The fruit became a stimulus To create a synthesis Of good and evil Lethal consequences leaving Eden Deceiving demons gave us death instead of freedom Breathing heathen under treason Bleeding every season All we needed was a Jesus Take me away from here all today's pain you know I see it all so clear the morning after the rain and i worry all the time what's coming around the bend maybe i'm just going crazy but it feels like The end is near, the end is here Can't you see the signs of times before they disappear We're shifting gears, now listen here What's written here will come to pass within the years Not given fear, but sudden death, destruction will appear Those in Christ are hidden clear, from the hour of temptation We are patient at the station as we wait for our departure Don't be late to catch the train that takes us to the harbor If you miss it you'll be scorching, you'll be tortured without God to guard ya We are at the end, you can't go any farther Give your life to Christ and He'll wipe away your charges God's about to burn the weeds, the harvest is upon us God's a Perfect Farmer and He doesn't wanna harm ya But time's up, sign up Stop living with your eyes shut Confess your sins, surrender to the Perfect Pilot You are just a rival who is stuck in your denial Start walking with the man that is described in the bible Take me away from here all today's pain you know I see it all so clear the morning after the rain and i worry all the time what's coming around the bend maybe i'm just going crazy but it feels like Take me away from here all today's pain you know I see it all so clear the morning after the rain and i worry all the time what's coming around the bend maybe i'm just going crazy but it feels like the End.
