Story Behind The Song
"I wrote this song for a friend shooting a video. He wanted a song about the end of the world, but I didn't want to write a song about the end of the world. First, I don't believe the world is coming to an end and second, I wanted to make a song that would inspire people, especially now when so many have lost hope. I had to be careful not to stray too far away from what I was asked to write about or my friend might have scrapped the song. This is what I came up with. I took a gamble and he loved it and changed the concept of the video."
-Will Pailen
Song Description
The End of All Things, a fusion of dub step and pop, takes the listener on a journey and asks the question: do we as a global society want destruction or life. The song places it in the hands of the listener. If we choose destruction we extinct ourselves. If we choose life we transform into Gods. This is not your everyday doom and gloom, 2012, end of the world song. It's meant to inspire people to get off their knees and rise up. We are not victims of this coming age, whatever that maybe. We are creators of it.

Lyrics
The End of All Things
Music & Lyrics by:
Will Pailen
Ah...
It's at the end of all things
Now is the end of all things
We're at the end of all things now
And we're starting to feel it
But at the end of all things
There starts a new beginning
Here at the end of all things now
We can lift up off the ground
Life
Life was always what we made it
We had the power to engage it
And now to be free
Gotta look inside and see
All the power we have in store
If we can't won't see no more
Of life
This is the prophesy
Of the end times
(Look round, look round, look round, around)
All we see is destruction
(But can we turn ourselves around)
Can we start again
It's at the end of all things
Now is the end of all things
We're at the end of all things now
And we're starting to feel it
But at the end of all things
There starts a new beginning
Here at the end of all things now
We can lift up off the ground
Truth
It was always deep inside us
Our mistake was that the power
To live lied somewhere else
Never looked inside the self
All the power we have in store
If we can't won't see no more
Of life
This is the prophesy
Of the end times
(Look round, look round, look round, around)
There is no more reflection
(But can we turn ourselves around)
Can we start again
It's at the end of all things
Now is the end of all things
We're at the end of all things now
And we're starting to feel it
But at the end of all things
There starts a new beginning
Here at the end of all things now
We can lift up off the ground
Amen
