lyrics
Time is running out
On a sad blue planet
Time is winding down
Toward the wind-up
Sin and grace abound
Man hanging in the balance
11:59 and flirting with disaster
Sometimes I wonder how it might have been
If we had never fallen into sin
Paradise gained, then lost
A quantum leap to a brave new world
Complete the tower of Babel
For one last call the Son is setting
On the downtrodden masses
For the changing of the guard
Closed and opened doors
The breaking of the yoke
With a double-edged sword
Sometimes I wonder where we might have been
If He hadn’t come to set the captives free
There would we be in our slavery
He’s run amok, pulling strings
The author of confusion
With diabolic puppetry
And thinly-veiled delusions
False goddess mother earth
Grandiose utopias
Imposed with grave abandonment
And desperate recklessness
Sometimes I wonder how it might have been
If he had not rebelled against the King
A dangerous being prowls our galaxy
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
A politically correct ship of fools is flying into the sun
In the calm before the storm
The storm before the calm
But if we miss this boat
We’ll be swept up in the flood
Sometimes I wonder how it might have been
If we had never fallen into sin
Paradise gained, then lost
Time is running out on a sad blue planet
Time is winding down toward the wind-up
Time is running out on a sad blue planet
Time is running out …
