Lyrics

[verse 1]
I?m a believer in the evil
not a follower but I see how it prey on the people
the way it pick on the feeble, it?s like a poisonous needle
containin concentrated death it?s guaranteed to be lethal
it?s shot deep into the earth and it?s infectin the soil
spreading like green mold on top of bread when it spoils
from the earth into the roots its soakin into the trees
out to the air into the clouds and now it?s rainin on me (Lord help us)
This world is just a fatal disease
the kind that transforms slowly from a cough to a wheeze
until it takes over the body bringin men to they knees
and now it?s got a taste for death and it can not be appeased
I see it comin, apocalyptic signs and visions
got me wishin on a way to avoid the comin condition
and I Pray, won?t you keep from the evil that men do
and the demons they be schemin so now keep us from them too (Lord here me)

[hook - sung]
Deliver us from evil Lord, We need you now
This world is oh so cold
Just to make it through the day, got a make a way
and we can?t make it alone
And every day is like the night
and we won?t survive, unless you?re by our side
So we pray to you, Please hear and deliver

[verse 2]
It?s the sign of the times man the dark clouds are comin
and through the ghettoes you can see the four horses runnin
such a strange sight to see but then it occurs to me
it?s all a part of the apocalyptic prophecy
Hailstorms, Earthquake, blood in the river
when death got your name kid, who can deliver
you reachin for the steel but for real it?s in vain
the bullets can?t change it betta call on the Name
cuz it?s a different war, we need some different tools
old strategies are for old school fools
How you gonna fight poverty and disease with a gat?
Keep that, I?m a fight on my knees
Try to run for the hills but the hills ain?t there
The hills are hiding in the mountains cuz the hills are scared
Got the mountains on the run, divin into the sea
But the sea spits them out, ?fraid of the enemy (Lord help us)


[hook]

[verse 3]
Where my leaders at? Supposed to have my back
somethin tells me they too busy keepin pockets phat
instead of makin sure all of our borders are intact
Right now I?m really not all that concerned with Iraq
Cuz we can handle that. But what about the fact
of whole families taken out in murder-suicide acts
100 year old corporations going bankrupt in months
new disease come out of nowhere, hit the whole world at once
What?s goin on? Come on you betta open your eyes
just like the leaves fallen from the trees these are the signs
It?s the winter baby, look at Death, roamin the land
Walking confident, struttin with his crotch in his hands
I see him comin, and who am I to try to oppose
but still I?m not the one to be wearin no burial clothes
and ?fore I allow myself to accept what death bestows
I put my hands in the hands on the one who knows (Lord help us)
