End of Days (Part 2)

[Verse 1]
As 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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 at the end of days

[Chorus 2]
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is 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

[Verse 3]
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 the pavement and drunk at the end of my days
The end of days

[Interlude]
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is the end of days
It's just the end of days
This is 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

[Outro]
"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 it poses promises to be of indefinite duration. To meet it 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 hoped for advantage -- 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 citizenry 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 good night."
