The time has come, pendulum swung
the end is closing in,
the Light is there for all to see
yet so many walk within the dark.
The urge is great, our sins concealed
end days reveal the soul,
outrun that Light as darkness drags
us into the final web.
Paradise is right behind us
if we can merely understand,
that forgiveness lies within that Light
where evil has no hold.
Final minutes tick, pendulum slows
what decision will be made,
for ultimately it's peace we crave
we turn and face our demons.
