The news came on
A special report
The man looked pretty upset
He cleared his throat and dried his eyes
And said something I won't forget
It's time for you to come on home
Head back without delays
The hour's late, the time is nigh
It's the end of days
The sky was black at high noon
And the air smelled of sulfur and ash
It was as if God himself had swooped on down
And said, time to take out the trash
An earthquake here, a tsunami there
Our world lay in rack and ruin
We cried out to the lord above
Screamin', What the hell are you doin'
Come along now, my little one
Better lock up all our belongings
All I got to protect us is a rake
We will hunker down in our basement
And hope that this is all a bad mistake
We will pray for our salvation
While the rest will rot in hell
We will ride on our chariots, yeah
And we will live where the sanctified dwell
