Armageddon’s Not Far Away lyrics
Everywhere I look, I see white light
The ground is misty, the sky is bright
Glass is clouding up, from vapour and the heat
Window’s closed tight, on the red hot streets
Concrete is a-melting, the lakes ran dry
Your tongue feels like cooked meat, that’s been over fried
My last taste of pure water, I had before I came here
I start to decry that it can’t be like this everywhere
I believed your words, wished I’d believed in me
For I don’t see anyone but fighting enemies
Shadows void of form, from another land
Speaking in strange tongues, I can’t understand
Well, the borders have surrendered and walls have fallen
A lone bird sitting on the barbed wire calling
“It’s near the end of the day”
“It’s near the end of the day”
Here Armageddon’s not far away
See, the Bishop’s are a-dancing
Priest’s in the street
All believing their learning, that their God they’ll soon meet
I tried leaving reality in my mind
I came here hoping that salvation I would find
Looking at your face, looking in your eyes
Tryna feel that belief hasn’t died
It matters not that we’ll never meet again
I’ll give you a score, ten outta ten!
So many can never see what’s right and what’s wrong
Some don’t listen to, the words of a song
It’s like pulling teeth and feeling no hurt
Your body’s numb as you fall in the dirt
So will I never see the sun rise no more?
As I sit here exiled on this foreign shore?
It’s getting near the end of the day
Here Armageddon’s not far away
It’s getting near the end of the day
Here Armageddon’s not far away
It’s getting near the end of the day
Here Armageddon’s not far away
