Seventeen More Years Lyrics

Darlin', a storm is brewin'

I can see them gather as they sing

As was prophesized

Now here before our eyes

The holy rapture flies and cries on gilded wing

We've cleared your land and tilled your precious soil

And only sow the seeds we know are just

We've prayed each day and longed for your forgiveness

So that when this day arrived

We'd rise above the dust

Today the prophet signaled to believers

In his drops to cryptic yet so clear

Every chosen member in the compound

Refreshes every feed to be the first to hear

Darlin a storm is brewin'

It's time to take the pills and drink the wine

And gather on that roof

Cause they'll be coming soon

To offer us safe passage through the end of times

Buried down beneath their very footsteps

For seventeen long years we've waited there

Ready now to carry out our orders

To witness these fine creatures

Imagine how far they've come

Darlin a storm is brewin'

They haven't evolved since 1868

Will they ever realize

We've come to offer them paradise

But for seventeen more years, we'll just have to wait
