Book Of Revelations

de Dax

I can't sleep
I keep thinking about this
What if, with everything that's going on
The world really is coming to an end?
Then what?

What if it isn't a lie?
What if we make it to heaven and don't get inside?
What if we get to the gates
And see God on the other side
And He looks us in our face
And says our whole lives we've wasted time?

What if we can't go back?
What if we can't redo this life
And get one second chance?
What if our future happiness
Is memories of our past?
While we burn forever haunted
By the devil's laughs?

Why?
Why do we push them away?
And why do the ones we work to keep
Never actually stay?
Why do we focus on tomorrow
And forget about today?
And smile in everybody's face
And try and act like we're okay?
Why do we live this way?
Why do we hate? Why do we fight?
Why do we act like there's time
And got more than one life?
Why?
(Answer me)
Why? Why!? Why? Why?

I'm older and looking for truth
I'm holding my faith in my hand
But the pain in this world has been shaking it loose
I used to have so much to gain
Now I have so much to lose
They say I'm crazy for looking for answers
I say they crazy for not giving proof
Vision is blurred, I'm over concerned
I'm looking at God to see
If life with Him is something I've earned
The devil's been watching he's tryna recruit
He's been waiting at every turn
I'm driving this life on the highway to hell
But I won't burn!
Fuck!

We know the difference
We know what is wrong and we know what is right
But Satan is strong, God
And most of Your people are losing the fight
(We try)
So what if we fail?
What if we can't escape his lies?
What if we can't change
What if he still controls our minds?

Where do we run? Where do we go?
Who do we talk to?
We look around and everyone we see
Is lost too
What if life was just some test that we all do?
What if You were busy when we called You?

What if hell's on Earth?
What if being born is dying
And dying's birth?
Would that mean life's not God's gift
But the devil's curse?
And to live was to be evil
'Cause it's words reversed?
What if the devil entered a pastor
And he led a church?
What if we looked for the truth
But didn't know where to search?
What if the books they said to read
Had never been Your words?
What if we chose to follow You
But we still had that urge?
Will You forgive us for our sins
And let us in Your world?

God we at the gates
We couldn't see, hear, or touch You
But we had faith
We know we messed up, we human
And we make mistakes
So we just begging we get in
And that You'll have grace

God!
What if we didn't mean it?
What if the place we grew up forgot to teach us?
What if we never even got the chance
To go and seek it?
Then what? Then what? (then what?)

Dear family
We're in scary times
Nobody has the answers
Just make sure we spread love
And believe
My name is Dax
