The Beginning

Since the dawn of men, the lions in the den keep us afraid
Yeah, a fire or a flood will fall from above so count your days
When all the towns will turn to dust
And all the gold is left to rust, or so they say

With a pen full of rage, John in a cage, he saw what he saw
Yeah, the mark of the beast will part the sea to find us all
And it's truth if you believe
You ask, you shall receive

And I read the holy books and I poured through the pages
Upon a closer look, I had a revelation
Yeah, I noticed there's a trend
The world keeps spinning
We've been talking 'bout the end ever since the beginning

Yeah, a soul will search and build 'em a church to share the fear
'Cause on the edge of a road, a billboard swears "The End Is Near"
And the rich go build a bunker
I've seen the signs and wondered

And I read the holy books and I poured through the pages
Upon a closer look, I had a revelation
Yeah, I noticed there's a trend
The world keeps spinning
We've been talking 'bout the end ever since the beginning

Yet the sun comes up again
Yet the sun comes up again
Someday we'll all look up and pray for love to change us
Find the courage to be kind and then
Hell, maybe we ain't finished

Yeah, maybe
This is just the beginning
The beginning
The beginning, yeah
