Left Behind Lyrics

Reports are coming in from all over the world regarding

Friends, family members, and co-workers suddenly gone missing

These disappearances are currently unverified and unexplained

But the president has scheduled a news conference

For nine pm eastern standard time tonight

After the Rapture you should cancel your vacation

The world will be in a state of consternation

They may say it's an alien invasion

Or maybe a war with a belligerent nation

Maybe just a figment of your imagination

Or maybe a side effect of constipation

But when the smoke clears you're gonna find

That you're one to those who got left behind

Then comes the liar demanding veneration

Promising peace and unification

But what you're gonna get is war and tribulation

Government by murder and intimidation

Famine and disease and deforestation

Killing more than half of the global population

You will wish you were dead but you will find

That's not an option for those left behind

Then comes the rightful king in recapitulation

But this time every knee will bow in proper adoration

Sheep and goats will gather for a final separation

And those who made it through it all with no capitulation

Those who helped the least of these, remaining at their station

Will walk the earth with Jesus in joyous reclamation

And if you make it through without the mark you will find

There can be salvation even if you're left behind
