MINISTRY - End of Days (Part 2) lyrics
rate meAs the future unfolds in the end of days
Judgment of our times in biblical ways
Our man made gods, genocide is faith
Idea warfare has been engaged
Cannot trust your fellow man at all these days
Sycophants out looking to get paid
Images burned into my face
Pangs of Distress salt my flesh to flay
I constantly fear everything I see
Blood is the fist of authority
Pestilence is my rabid dog unchained
Another road sign marks the end of days
I disregard those who govern me
I hate all of this treachery
I numb my mind and try to walk away
Toward the trail of tears and to the end of days
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
(slightly louder voice)
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
It's just the end of days.
Face down on the pavement and drunk at the end of my days
I hang from a noose that was made to slowly decay
The pangs of distress salt my flesh to slowly flay
Face down on pavement and drunk at the end of my days
The end of days
It's just the end of days
The end of days
It's just the end of days
The end of days
It's just the end of days
The end of days
It's just the end of days
The end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
(Slightly louder voice)
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
(fade away)
Speach by Eisenhower:
This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell
And to share a few final thoughts with you
My countrymen
We face a hostile ideology
Global in scope
Ruthless in purpose
And insidious in method
Unhappily the danger that imposes promises to be of indefinite duration
To meet this successfully
There is called for
Not so much the emotional and transitory sacrifices of crisis
But rather those which enable us to carry forward steadily, surely
And without complaint
the burdens of a prolonged and complex struggle
With liberty the stake
Only thus shall we remain
Despite every provocation
On our charted course toward permanent peace
Crises there will continue to be
In meeting them, whether foreign or domestic
Great or small
There is a recurring temptation to feel that some spectacular and costly action could become the miraculous solution to all current difficulties
But each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration
The need to maintain balance in and among national programs
Balance between the private and the public economy
Balance between the cost and hopes for advantages
Balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable
Balance between our essential requirements as a nation
And the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual
Balance between actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future
Good judgment seeks balance and progress
Lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration
The record of many decades stands as proof that our people and their government have
In the main
Understood these truths and have responded to them well
In the face of threat and stress
We annually spend on military security alone
More than the net income of all United States corporations
Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry
Is new in the American experience
The total influence
Economic, political
Even spiritual
Is felt in every city
Every State house
Every office of the Federal government
We recognize the imperative need for this development
Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications
Our toil
Resources and livelihood are all involved
so is the very structure of our society
In the councils of government
We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence
Whether sought or unsought
By the military-industrial complex
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes
We should take nothing for granted
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizen can compel the proper meshing of the huge
Industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals
So that security and liberty may prosper together
Now I am to become a private citizen
I am proud to do so
I look forward to it
Thank you and goodnight
(fade)
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
It's just the end of days
