"First Day of the End of the World"
Words: Charles Lupula/Music: Charles Lupula, Kleibold Harris

In the last days of the earth
Calling to the heavens
Wondering aloud where the savior was
Where were the miracles?
And when they'd come to ascend
In the last days
All that they had known
All the preacher had said
All the prophets words of the end
In the last days
The sky grew red, the streets awash with blood
But there was no relief
For those who had followed
The book had lied, the man on the tree
Was just a man on a tree
In the last days of earth
Calling to the heavens
Why are we still here?
Why hath you forsaken me?

There were no angels
Casting out the goats
There were no trumpets
No rapture of note

There were no angels
There was only man
No seven seals
No greater plan

In the last days of earth
As the lakes dried up, the famine came
There was no beast with seven heads
And ten diadems or a scarlet whore
In the last days
There were only kings and senators
and preacher men and scientists
And excuses no more
In the last days
The pit did not open up and swallow sinners
As the foot of god crushed the serpent
As the dead returned to their lives
In the last days
It was too late
And still some said wait
To open their eyes
Was worse than the lies

There were no angels
Casting out the goats
There were no trumpets
No rapture of note

There were no angels
There was only man
No seven seals
No greater plan

Alone

We did it
We did it ourselves

Natural selection
No resurrection
Our proud insurrection
We were infection
Ignored interconnection
Our imperfection
Too late for introspection
And now without protection

And now our completion
And our deletion
All that accretion
All that excretion
All that depletion
Forever our deletion
Forever our completion
Forever our completion
