Hope For A Higher Power

"The world, The Kingdom, suffers violence

And the violent shall take it by force

If we can′t live in peace, then let's die in peaceWe′ve been so betrayed

We have been so terribly betrayed

So my opinion is be kind to children and be kind to seniors

And take the potion like they used to take in ancient Greece

And step over quietly because we are not committing suicide

It's a revolutionary act."

If there is a final hour

Let's hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

If there is a final hour

Let′s hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

Grandma told me the Good Book said

In the last days get ready for The Ten Plagues

1st, the rivers will be ran with red

Two, three, and four, dead frogs will ′cause lice and flies

Sick livestock is five the living they must fight for their lives

Six, seven, and eight, a boil storms a fire and locusts

Nine is darkness, so dark it's hard for you to focus

And ten is death of the firstborn

If I said it was questionable, the religions would make it a point

To get at me and battle me, maybe have this verse torn

How will this curse form?

Well, Creationism and Darwinism been at it forever

′Bout at it I got nothin' but hurt for ′em

'Cause really nobody knows when you live

Then you die where your body goes

If it′s Hell or it's Heaven

Six or the seven, well I'll keep the Nina for all the foes in a gamble

That′s what life is and it′s hard to handle

When the Bible says worship this, but the scripture's written by man though

So when man destroys us, the word might not stand, so

Till that day I′m just gon' protect my fam with ammo

If there is a final hour

Let′s hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

If there is a final hour

Let's hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

And at the height of their power

(God) will send an angel to destroy them

I′ve been looking for something supernatural for a long time now

But I never got proof that a spiritual realm existed, wanted to find how

Everybody sure of a supreme being, are people just seeing things?

Wondering if we get wings, seems sick to believe in an extreme king

I know it sounds far-fetched, every night I put knees on the carpet

Then I pray to who's up with the star set

'Cause the Earth in itself is a target

For destruction, for combustion

′Cause there ain′t too many you can trust in

Think of all the women losing their husbands

In Iraq, a lot of killing and suffering

What I hope for, seemed folklore

When the enemy kills and gloat more

'Cause they killin′ us off in this hoax war

Then I wake up yellin' and my throats sore

′Cause the fight's there, it′s a nightmare

If it come to me, I'm in my snipe wear

If a bullet give my lung a slight tear

I wanna believe that the light's there

So all you Christians don′t get mad at me

I just hope your mystical magical miracles work in catastrophes

And this ain′t blasphemy, but artillery is my strategy

I hope for a higher power when I look at all these tragedies

If there is a final hour

Let's hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

If there is a final hour

Let′s hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

I will never follow the beliefs of man, why?

Because man destroys everything in his path

Oh what a miracle, angels, and demons

But the only miracle is that people keep believin'

Right hand on the bible, left hand on my rifle

Keep that for my rivals and evil disciples

Expand your mission, man to women

When they attack, do you plan to give in?

Or do you do like I do and say praise the Lord and pass the ammunition

People like us, piece and knife up

′Cause we got evil to sweep and wipe up

Devils and demons and humans, irrelevant

So if they lookin' deceiving I bust

I hope that the higher power is watching over me

′Cause we young people don't see faith like most the older see

If he or she is listenin', a mere sign can spark me

But if the laws in the Bible are bogus, then prepare for anarchy

Worst case scenario is there never ever was a higher power

So in the midst of chaos now, the only real savior is fire power

If there is a final hour

Let′s hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

If there is a final hour

Let′s hope for a higher power

One by one and two by two

I have ammo, what about you?

"I, with respect, die with a degree of dignity

Lay down your life with dignity

Don't lay down with tears and agony

There′s nothing to death

It's like Mac said, it′s just stepping over into another plane

Don't, don′t be this way

Stop this hysterics."
