Beginning of the End Lyrics

Long ago, in a far and distant land
The prophets told them all
The souls of the dead
Shall rise into the sky
Cut me loose from this hell
I command, god set me free
The prophecies, revelation
The beginning of the end, of time

The sands of time shall blow away
Into the wind, up into the sky
The word of the book, be known to all
Or stay to face the rapture
The prophecies, revelation
The beginning of the end, of time

I've read the book, and know what it says
But it is far too late for me
For I've been left to face hell on earth
Counting down to Armageddon
I pray the beast will die
The prophecies, revelation
The beginning of the end, of time
