The darkness is fallin, and it ain’t fallin away.

It’s on top of us like a blanket gettin thicker every day.



There’s only smoke where we should see fire

reveal all the lights under baskets, it’s gettin down to the wire

we’re gonna look around in a little while and all we’ll acquire

is the world’s face on a carton of milk that expired

cuz the sheep got lost on the way to join the rest of the flock

the wolves set up shop on the corner of every block

sellin stock in heaven lettin God get mocked

with words watered down just so nobody gets shocked



you should know that the truth ain’t for sale, if it was nobody would buy it

even though it quenches your thirst, everyone would try to deny it

if they get a coupon in the mail that said we’d pay you to try it

people would make up excuses like the whole world’s on a diet

but the food they been eatin is stale n when they cook it they fry it

they’d rather kill themselves first than let the truth imply that

they ever did anything to fail if you know they did wrong just stay quiet

i don’t care if i’m gonna get bruises i’m prepared to be startin a riot



I ain’t sayin I’m better than you I’m sayin there’s no denyin

I should be payin my debt when I’m dead n judged n fryin

cuz every one of us drove in a nail while Jesus was ready to die n

suffer the pain of the curse of all the sins we were buyin

without ever knowin the cost cuz we were too busy tryin

to live it all up n pleasure stealin n lustin n lyin

everyone’s partyin up, you should be broken down cryin

I ain’t tryin to make you feel bad it’s just the truth i’m supplyin



Who wouldn’t want to live forever in a world much better than this?

Eternal life is free to have God packed it up in a gift

He even sent down his Spirit so we can get the jist

of livin in righteousness now that he forgave our sins

So what if you go to church? even satan knows God exists

Yeah you’ve been raisin your hands, you should be raisin your fists

and fight to keep yourself holy so you don’t let yourself slip

we make satan run when temptation comes, we resist

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Totally hip-hop, if you couldn't tell. I will have so much fun working with the rhythms in my head for this.
