The End Of The Age

Metal Church


I hear it in a minstrel wind, it's crying out the tune 
Of a prophet's only hope to tell the world 
He wrote down it on parchment, but alas no one believes 
Of the vision only one man could conceive 

He knows it's true 

Will the people have the ears to hear 
or will they turn their heads 
And blind their eyes to the truth once again 
How is it that you know the 
season's changing by the leaves 
But still you do not know that summer's near? 

It's near 

So many teachers preach a lie to the sheep who need a guide 
They need a God that they can touch and see 
But only if your faith is strong and hope for the unseen 
You'll find peace amongst the tragedy 

Woe to those who hear not 
Woe to souls who've been bought 
Oh, it's written on the page 
Woe to those who fear not 
Woe to souls who've been bought 
You don't see the ending of the age 

You wandered throught the wilderness 
for forty years or more 
To lead you to the promised land, 
promised years before 
Yet still you bowed down to a calf 
you made with your own hands 
Have you still not learned a thing, 
the wickedness of man 

And oh, hands up to the sky 
And oh, the angel passes by 

One bowl for the wicked 
One bowl for the sea 
One bowl for the rivers 
Men screamed in agony 
The sun will then be darkened 
The moon will give no light 
The earthquakes will shake up the earth 
The terror in the night 

And oh, hands up to the sky 
And oh, watch the beast begin to rise 

Remember what I've told you 
Remember what you've seen 
And tell the human race just what it means
