The Coming
[Intro]
Jesus turned in his crown of thorns today
And announced to the Earth and the heavens
The end of his reign
He took a seat next to the Devil and said
"I need a new name"
And the coming never came

[Verse 1]
My whole life
I fervently served him and obeyed
And I walked through this world full of sinners
And I kept them at bay
'Cause there's only enough room at his table
For the souls that are saved
And they're coming to shut the gate
You're too little and too late
And you can't get in on that name
But I don't buy it
I refuse to think that my best friend is going to Hell anymore
And condescend to offer her a key to her salvation
Like it's something I have and can afford
And I won't blame my parents for clinging to the good word
In hopes that it makes sense of it all
And believing in a story like it was the Bible
When it was just a tale made tall
