LYRIC FOR SALE

By Thomas B. Heffner

(Verse 1)
The darkness is coming,
The enemy is hunting...
A price will need to be paid,
Sacrifices will need to be made.
Prayers have all been prayed,
Decency and God have both been betrayed.
Darkness is all that we see,
Darkness is coming for you and me.

(Chorus)
Darkness is just over the next hill,
It's time for man to pay the bill.
Darkness is what we have created,
With our actions toward those we have hated.
Man's endless greed and evil behavior,
Is not desirable in the eyes of our Savior.
The darkness...there is no escape or anywhere to go,
It is the final battle for mankind's very soul!

(Verse 2)
The darkness is nearly upon us all,
There is nowhere to run and no one to call.
We must face the darkness and nod,
Knowing our salvation only lies with God.
The earth will be scorched and made new,
Those who survive will be among the very few.
God's wrath for man's folly will be complete,
The darkness will then find only defeat.

(Chorus)
Darkness is just over the next hill,
It's time for man to pay the bill.
Darkness is what we have created,
With our actions toward those we have hated.
Man's endless greed and evil behavior,
Is not desirable in the eyes of our Savior.
The darkness...there is no escape or anywhere to go,
It is the final battle for mankind's very soul!

(Verse 3)
So hear my words, and get right with the Lord,
Or you will find yourself facing down a fiery sword.
The darkness will cover the world like a girth,
Leaving only death and a scorched earth.
Man will reap the evil he has allowed,
Man has turned the earth into a death shroud.
It is not something we can put off to later,
Your very survival depends on turning to man's Creator.

(Chorus)
Darkness is just over the next hill,
It's time for man to pay the bill.
Darkness is what we have created,
With our actions toward those we have hated.
Man's endless greed and evil behavior,
Is not desirable in the eyes of our Savior.
The darkness...there is no escape or anywhere to go,
It is the final battle for mankind's very soul!

(Outro)
The darkness...it is coming, are you ready?
I have no fear...for my love and faith in God will remain steady.
I will face the darkness with the Lord at my side,
Knowing that when the darkness comes...there is nowhere to hide!
