[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
The sun is black, a 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 broken timber of this burning town
There's poison in the water, the ocean's blood has turned to slime and gotten hard
All the fish and whales are corpses 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!"
[Verse 2]
"The king survived though his throat was cut, they say he's the chosen one
He leads our men from Babylon, the rebellion's worldly son
Against the Tyrant, we have joined with him as soldiers."
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 his eyes
At the blackness, he lashes 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!"
