Rapture-Music and Lyrics by Cork freelance artist, songwriter and poet

Listen to Rapture

There is a prophecy of a moment, that is strong throughout north american Christian belief, that believes there will come a day when an apocalypse will occur. The rivers will run with blood, the earth ravaged by an inferno of fire and the damned will die a slow suffering death. True Christians, who accept Jesus, will be saved from this horror by being taken into eternal bliss in heaven . All Christians will leave earth moments before the apocalypse begins. This prophesied moment in called The Rapture or The End Time. There is also a shared belief that before the rapture can occur, Solomon's Temple must be rebuilt on the temple mount. This of course is an idea that will be fought by those that support the current dweller there, the Golden Dome of the Rock., This song will upset some people I am sure.

 

End Time
all the time
'bout your neighbours
never mind
all that matters
what is mine
save yourself
and be divine
saying Jesus is
a friend of mine
live eternal
so sublime
in Rapture
in Rapture

head for the high ground
grab what you need
get out of town

pack an ax and some matches
bad shit is going down

find your self an island
many miles from here
welcome Armageddon
the End Time is here
make sure you got some water
it's your only need
gotta quench your thirst boy
you'll die if you won't bleed

America's gotten crazy
good God she's gonna blow
End Time clock is ticking
America's ready
don't you know?

grab your partner by the hand
step around now
ain't that grand
duck and cover
roll real low
everyone do
the doe si doe

America's gotten crazy
good God she's gonna blow
End Time clock is ticking
America's ready
don't you know?

it's the bible
where it says
that the Jews
they must go home
America is here kids
you are not alone
West Bank go and settle
Palestine, Gaza Strip
Israel be a good boy
and occupy all of it

let's be reasonable
said Ariel Sharon
now he's in a coma
out of the way
all alone

al-Haram-ash-Sharif
Golden Dome of the Rock
it's the Temple Mount
the al-Aqsa mosque
all of it must come down
let Solomon adorn
desecrate the sacred
so that Jesus, be reborn

head for the high ground
grab what you need
get out of town
pack an ax and some matches
bad shit is going down

America's gotten crazy
good God she's gonna blow
End Time clock is ticking
America's ready
don't you know?

take your Saviour
by the hand
swear you'll follow
his grand plan
read your bible
every day
say
"i Love Jesus"
in every way

America's gotten crazy
good God she's gonna blow
End Time clock is ticking
America's ready
don't you know?

End Time
all the time
'bout your neighbours
never mind
all that matters
what is mine
save yourself
and be divine
saying Jesus is
a friend of mine
live eternal
so sublime
in Rapture
in Rapture
