Lyrics

Doomsday, the end of the century In accord with prophecy Is all of your fear, your fire, your family Written within the Book of Butchery? My appetite is endless The people defenseless This land is big, this land is bigger But never as big as a mouth of a singer, oh Every morning I listen to confessional I don't give a shit 'bout the bulk of it Still, I keep it professional And as penance I tell 'em to proselytize Say the sun is red, say that I am red Say all their bases belong to us And of doomsday, the end of the century In accord with prophecy Put all your fear, your fire, your family Into the mouth of Final Fantasy And the bishops will kneel at their altars and sing Remove their coils, their rings, their jewels Lay them all down in sacrifice What of things? What things? What is this thing? I've a temper as shiny as any bling! And all this attention will gain you no favour in paradise And of doomsday, the end of the century In accord with prophecy Go, all your fear, your fire, your family Into the mouth of Final Fantasy The crack Where is the crack? When did I crack? The crack Where is the crack? When did I crack? Then I'll stand alone on a planet with (The crack) Nothing left to remember it (Where is the crack?) And I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to prevent it (When did I crack?) I'll try, I'll try, but I'll never stop it, no Muzzle me, muzzle, muzzle me (The crack) Bind my will and break of me (Where is the crack?) And you try, you try, you try to prevent it (When did I crack?) You'll try, you'll try, but you'll never stop it, no And I'll stand alone on a planet with (The crack) Nothing left to remember it (Where is the crack?) And I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to prevent it (When did I crack?) I'll try, I'll try, but I'll never stop it, no Muzzle me, muzzle, muzzle me (The crack) Bind my will and break of me (Where is the crack?) And you try, you try, you try to prevent it (When did I crack?) You'll try, you'll try, but you'll never stop it, no
