The Coming
________________________________________
They said it would happen on a dark night
When the moon was looking the other way
It would creep in between the shadows
And block the arrival of the new day
(v2)
Winds would gather and blow with a force
Then suddenly cease and standstill
And the ashen faces of those that dared
Would behold a foretelling fulfilled
(chorus)
Descending from a cloud of doubt
With eyes the color of death
It would crush the wicked
And steal their dying breath
It was the only way
It was their final day
It was the coming
(v3)
The bones that bleached in the arid sand
Told stories never meant to be heard
And the living acted more like the dead
When they refused to speak a word
(v4)
And the evil that was met with evil
Soon consumed itself from within
And the pure of heart and the innocent
Though weak were cleansed of sin .....
And the sun rose again
