From the recording Life Support
This track is quite stark. And it's dark. It is a prophetic look into a world where chaos reigns supreme and the whole world groans for release. Needing a saviour. A respite from the tribulation we find ourselves in. The content is honestly quite heavy going, but then again - so are a lot of the pictures and prophecies in Revelation!
Lyrics
The rivers dried the land was bare
I worked all day to feed you there
I stayed and watched the cities fall
I wondered who would end it all
The earth cries out through an ocean of tears
How long, How long
How long before the end of fears
How long, How long
We killed we cheated we fought we lied
How long, How long
How long now you can’t turn the tide
I saw the woman her siren song
Drunk with wine and partied on
I turned my eyes looking to the east
I read the signs and saw I the beast
The earth cries out through an ocean of tears
How long, How long
How long before the end of fears
How long, How long
We killed we cheated we fought we lied
How long, How long
How long now you can’t turn the tide
Then I heard the trumpet sound
The proud and mighty all stood their ground
The whole world shook and hid in fear
Creation groaned the end was near
We all spill the same blood
The tears we cried became a flood
Searching for a saving grace
Take us from this fallen place
We created for ourselves
We created for ourselves
The earth cries out through an ocean of tears
How long, How long
How long before the end of fears
How long, How long
We killed we cheated we fought we lied
How long, How long
How long now you can’t turn the tide
Search for truth while it may be found
A cross of wood on a hilltop mound
Transcending time the Saviour’s call
Peace on Earth, goodwill to all
The earth cries out through an ocean of tears
How long, How long
How long before the end of fears
How long, How long
We killed we cheated we fought we lied
How long, How long
How long now you can’t turn the tide
You can't turn the tide
