lyrics

Hang up your crown of thorns
Take a step down from your throne
The prophecy begins to unfold
Set to fail is all we know
Call upon the serpent beast
Who brings the plagues of wrath and disease
The one who brings the toads and bees
The one who makes the cycle complete
Bugs and lice will haunt the town
Thunder clouds that hammer down
The ground shakes from deep below
Bringing fear of thee unknown
Messiah speaks of divine knowledge
When the rapture comes how will you plead?
The seventh horseman, the pale rider
The final trumpet greets the hour

Why let this lesson fool you
Why let one man control your doom?
The history of myth and legend
To be chiseled on your tomb
There is no salvation in fiction
There is no peace in conviction
I'll never understand how one book
can have such a hold on you
A prophecy of death and fortune
Spoken by the men of holy treason
They loot and steal the ripest fruit
Taking all that's left of you
Manipulate the growing weak
and teach them not to hear or speak
A test of faith hangs with your father
But most will choose the silver dollar

In The Name
