lyrics

The concrete is a-crumbling
The blind man is a-mumbling
Everyone is running for their life

The four winds are a-breaking
The trees are a-shaking
Ain't God supposed to be on our side

The water is a-rising
The children are a-crying
Such beauty in these nihilistic times

Don't fear, darling
I'm right here, darling
Maybe, maybe it's the end

The horsemen are a-riding
Four horsemen are a-riding
Coming through the clouds in the sky

The drummer's are a-drumming
Even Lucifer's a-running
I saw him from the corner of my eye

Maybe Jesus is a-coming
Wouldn't that be something
But who could live by such a lie

Don't fear, darling
I'm right here, darling
Maybe, maybe it's the end

The river is a-flowing
The rooster is a-crowing
The vulture goes soaring by

The market is a-crashing
The politician's laughing
He thinks he'll be alright

The fiddler is a-playing
I heard the virgin saying
"Peace be upon your weary mind"

If the sky falls
And the trumpet calls
And all the martyrs are set free
I'll lay down, lay down
My burdens and take
My final resting place
