Lyrics for Song: The Wicked End
Lyrics for Album: City of Evil [2005]
Man's becoming more corrupt now - godless, wicked, cruel
The soulless man stood silenced - Mary's word rang so true
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the world, it's all through
Don't kill the messenger girl, 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
Swallow lies and swim 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
Swallow lies and swim in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savour each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
And with our sins how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
As the prophet shedded light on whats to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious they explained, no time to worry, messiahs 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
Swallow lies and swim in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savour each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
And with these sins how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
