So rapid the raptors, as coursers they came 
all the scratching and screaming, I barely escaped 
while the fuel cells they drained far too fast, I am dragged 
like worms on a hook through the hole to the blackness beyond 
at the end of days, where the world bleeds and burns 

The sun is black as sackcloth made of hair 
the stars have fallen to the Earth, mountains tearing from the ground 
look at these people hiding from the red raindrops 
while earthquakes shake the broekn time of this burning town 
There's poison in the water, the ocean's blood that turned to slime and gotten hard 
all the fish and whalres are corpes on the scab 
in the darkness soldiers gnaw their tongues in pain, you see 
so help me God, at the end of time they're screaming on their knees 
oh let them die! oh let them die! 

[CHORUS] 
"The wrath of the Lamb!" the martyrs cry 
"break the seven seals, let the horsemen ride!" 
The soldiers bear the royal crest and scream into the sky 
"He will come He will come! the Dragon's on the rise!" 

"The King survived though his throat was cut, they say he's the chosen one 
He leads our mean from Babylon, the rebellion's worldly son 
Agasint the Tyrant, we have joined with him as soldeirs" 
He tells me this while he shakes a bit - he's staring at his gun 
The painful stings of flying things have worn away his flesh and popped at his eyes 
At the blackness, he lashed out and cries: 
"You cowards and your wrathful God will see what power means 
when the Dragon comes-His will be done-in the fires you'll be cleaned 
Oh let him rise! 
Oh let him rise!" 

[CHORUS] 

I was these people fall 
the dragon shrieks and burns it all 
I flip the circuits on, I've got dragons of my own 
The portal glows and my machines destroyed 

"The Traveler has saved their souls from the Destroyer of Worlds 
Then why does his heart still scream? Rise and speak" 
I couldn't save her, I know she will die 
But please, if I could only tell her goodbye 
All I want is just one more day 
that morning in May... 

I've fought reptilian monsters 
I've crossed a bloody see 
just to meet you here 
and now i'm coming home, my dear 
the light is warm, outside at dawn 
the garden has no weeds, no grave beneath the tree 
through the silent house, my love after all 
cruled up in a ball, there you are
