This song title refers to the entirety of Ezekiel 7, a lengthy biblical description of judgement and destruction.
The song is about a crime syndicate enforcer torturing someone to death in a desert in the American southwest, according to the songwriter.
As an American, I spent a lot of time thinki...
[Verse 1]
The clouds explode and then the desert blooms
Someone will need to mop this floor for me
When I emerge, I find my car
Like a cathedral in a dream of the future
[Chorus]
Drive till the rain stops
Keep driving
[Verse 2]
Pull over and blast off when I get the chance
Clear as an insect's wings in sunlight
Flip on the high stakes radio
Try to sing the words right
[Chorus]
Drive til the rain stops
Keep driving
[Verse]
I had his arms tied up behind him
We were together all day
Maybe make Culiacán by sunset
Try to, anyway
[Bridge]
High as the clouds now
Flying
[Chorus]
Drive til the rain stops
Keep driving
