Step in to the garden, we're gonna lock the gate We gotta keep out the sinners, gotta keep out the hate Look out at the horizon, the time is coming near Look out at the world on fire, look at the people frozen in fear Revelation 21:7 The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending We accept this holy blessing, let us prep for Armageddon I'm the Father, shepherding my children into heaven Yes! I started with a vision, and then came the rest I'm like a more charismatic David Koresh There are others here like you, lost but they got found Locked down upon a Montana compound Let the heretics march in the streets We'll be sovereign, self-governed, armed to the teeth When the judgment comes down and takes the heathens We'll be standing righteous at the Gates of Eden And then before the choir, harken the creed I said that every forest fire starts with a Seed Amen now take the blade and carve your sin in your skin Wash away, let your atonement begin It's like pride, wrath, envy, lust Sloth, greed, gluttony, trust That when they learn that it's too late, they'll come for us, breaking But God will not let them take me We won't listen to their crying They had their chance to see the light All of this I saw in ashes and frozen For all of this, I didn't ask, I was chosen We won't be handing out no pardons 'Cause the world is gonna end tonight Something is coming, you can feel it, can't you? That's the reckoning the angels have been screaming at you The signs you haven't seen have shown us that it's started Your kind has brought depravity, the locusts in our garden Hardened skeptics will say I'm insane and call us a cult Their own homes in disarray, they'll scoff and insult But we will exult for these are tests we must face I've lost brothers and sons, more than once I've lost Faith But God spoke to me, a nobody from nowhere with nothing He taketh a child, warned us the sinners are hunting That they will come for our weapons, that they will come with a rope That they will come for our freedom, but they will never take Hope And I heard as it were the noise of thunder A cleansing by fire, entire world torn asunder Under sirens and wolves and baptists called in for curfew We'll be reborn into virtue It's like chastity, charity, diligence, patience Temperance, humility, kindness, statements Will be reiterated as the ground begins shaking That God will not let them take me We won't listen to their screaming They had their chance to do what's right The falling crimson sky will crash in the ocean For all of this, I didn't ask, I was chosen They'll be begging for forgiveness 'Cause the world is gonna end tonight Testify, my child How sweet the sound of my father's voice Made the move up north to Montana by choice An English professor with tenure denied Because I taught Huck Finn against a stark racial divide When a student complained I was fired for a quote Taken out of context, faculty took a vote And I was out on the street with a worthless degree That's when I read about this place of unity and peace Where I could finally see bliss existing past the veil I left a world of phonies, Holden Caulfield had set sail How could I be a teacher when the past had been rewritten? That's when I saw the statue in the moonlight, I was smitten Because what if he's right? Doesn't that make you think? Everyone's a little crazy, and the world's on the brink Of destruction and flames, but Gatsby's glad that I'm here Eden's Gate opened up, healing me and my fears - no more War, famine, pestilence, death The martyrs will trumpet the cataclysmic events And when it's just us left, you'll know that I wasn't faking 'Cause God will not even take me We won't listen to your begging You had your chance to stand and fight Where once were seven seals, the last of them's broken For all of this, I didn't ask, I was chosen And now you'll end your days in darkness 'Cause the world is gonna end tonight
