"Armageddon"
Michael Knapp

I can feel the anger
I can hear the scream
Pious computation
Of a cold machine

This is the darkness
This is the light
There is no sole survivor
In the day or the night

You can feel the wind
And a distant cry...this is Armageddon

As close as a heartbeat
You say goodbye...this is Armageddon

As the sky rumbles
The mountains rage...this is Armageddon

Mythology, stories
With the turn of a page...this is Armageddon

Man prepares a 'prophecy'
A holy hallucination
He saw God, like a demon
Destroying every nation

Just like old testament
destroy all in your path
If they call you enemy
He ll destroy them in His wrath

You can feel the wind
And a distant cry...this is Armageddon

As close as a heartbeat
You say goodbye...this is Armageddon

As the sky rumbles
The mountains rage...this is Armageddon

Mythology, stories
With the turn of a page...this is Armageddon

Prophecy minded
Ego-driven, misled...this is Armageddon

Fighting his demons
And everyone else instead...this is Armageddon

Everyone else instead...this is Armageddon
Everyone else instead...this is Armageddon
Everyone else instead...this is Armageddon
Everyone else instead...this is Armageddon
