Anger, fear, death, and scorn
I’ve seen it all before
I’ve seen it in the prophet’s eye
I’ve seen it in the darkened skies
And growing in the faces
Of our nation’s youth
To tell the truth

Throw my feelings ‘gainst the wall
Love and hate, crush them all
Turn my back on my frozen mind
Turn my back on the world unkind
And accept that maybe
It’s only fair
But no-one cares

And through the reckless hate that’s spawned
An evil picture in my mind is drawn
Ten million people in mourning
Six billion people without warning
Are taken against their will
To the fiery gates
Where Jesus waits
