apocalyptic blues

  The world is slowly turning

But soon that will come to an end

I said the world is slowly turning

But soon you will see that come down to its end

There is no one left for me to love

I have lost my only friend  

I knew a woman that could save me

But she said she could not pretend 

There was one woman that could save me

But she said she would no-longer pretend

And now  the cities burn with fire

And the destroyer will descend

Her love was my savior  -  my soul she could heal

She led me astray  -  I found out she’s not real

She was my angel

Her heart was a storming sea

She hypnotized me like an angel

But her heart was a storming sea

I heard the trumpets sound

The sinners fell down on their knees

Our love was crashing thunder

The distant sounds of war

Our love was as loud as thunder

The sound of a rising war

Now  she’s gone forever

And death rides his pale horse
