IT WAS THE CRACK OF DAWN
EARLY ONE MORNING WHEN IT ALL HAPPENED.
I THOUGHT JUST ANOTHER NORMAL DAY IT WOULD BE.
WAKE UP GET WASHED SHAVED GET DRESSED
EAT HUG MY FAMILY
AND KISS MY WIFE GOODBYE THEN OFF TO WORK.
IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW
I WOULD’VE ASKED FORGIVENESS TO REMOVE MY SINS
THAT’S WHEN I STEPPED OUTSIDE UNPREPARED
FOR THE DAY AND HOUR OF THE UNKNOWN
SUDDEN IMPACT I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS
BY WHAT I SAW IN THE SKY
A BRIGHT FLASH OF LIGHT
AS FAR FROM EAST TO WEST
LIKE LIGHTNING STRIKES
FOR A MOMENT BLINDED MY EYES.
TO MY SURPRISE I STARTED TO REALIZE
AN INSTANT CLIMATE CHANGE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE BEGAN TO RAIN
CLOUDS BECAME DARK; FEAR SETTLED IN HEARTS,
THE WIND BLEW WITHOUT CEASE.
A THOUGHT CAME TO REMEMBRANCE
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
I SHOOK THE THOUGHTS OUT OF MY MIND
CONTINUED ON MY WAY
THINKING IT WAS JUST ANOTHER STORMY DAY.
SO I DROVE OFF TO THE NEAREST CORNER STORE
TO BUY MYSELF A CUP OF COFFEE AND MORE
STEP TO THE REGISTER HANDED HER TWO QUARTERS TWO DIMES
SHE SAID .75 CENTS SIR
I REACHED IN MY POCKET FOR LOOSE CHANGE
WHILE STARRING OUT THE WINDOW
I SAW SOMETHING STRANGE AS I PASSED HER MY NICKEL.
MILITARY VEHICLES HUMVEE
SETTING UP A BLOCKADE CHECKING IDENTITIES
OF DRIVERS WHO PASS ON BY.
I SAID TO THE CLERK WHATS GOING ON?
AND WITH A TEARY EYED SHE REPLIED
HAVEN’T YOU HEARD? THE PRESIDENT BEEN SHOT AND KILLED
AND MARTIAL LAW IS TAKING EFFECT AGAINST OUR WILL.
MY COFFEE SPILLED
BURNING MY HAND DRIPPING OVER THE NEWSPAPER STAND
OF USA TODAY
THE FRONT PAGE NEWS READ 24 HOURS BEFORE NUCLEAR STRIKE BEGINS
IS THIS THE END
I THOUGHT ABOUT FAMILY AND FRIENDS
I FELL TO THE FLOOR ON MY HANDS AND KNEES
BEGGING GOD FOR MERCY PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE…


REPEAT 4X
It was the Night the Thief came.
two in a Bed,
One was taken and the other left…LEFT

It was the Night the Thief came.
two in a field,
One was taken and the other left.. .LEFT.

One was taken and I WAS LEFT.


ALL OF A SUDDEN BENEATH MY FEET
WHERE I STOOD THE GROUND SHOOK
THE GREATEST EARTHQUAKE EVER KNOWN TO MAN
1/3RD OF THE CITY COLLAPSE
I WAS BURRIED UNDER SHELVES AND GLASS
AND WHEN THE DUST SETTLED
BARELY I WAS ABLE TO CRAWL OUT OF THE DEBREE
REACHING OUT MY HAND ( cough sound COUGHING UP BLOOD )
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!
WHILE FADING IN AND OUT OF CONSIOUSNESS.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I’M NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HERE
ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE LIFE
WHAT SEEM RIGHT IN MY OWN EYES
BUT IN THE END LEAD TO MY OWN DESTRUCTION
IF SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN
HEAR ME PLEASE DO SOMETHING.
MY LIFE BEGAN TO FLASH
BEFORE MY EYES WONDERING WHY?
I DIDN’T LISTEN EVEN TO MY OWN SPOUSE AND CHILDREN.
ALL I COULD THINK WAS GET HOME
BUT THE STINCH OF DEATH WAS ALL AROUND
AND WHEN I THOUGHT IT COULDN’T GET WORSE
(100lb HUNDRED POUND ) FIERY HAILSTONES
FELL FROM THE SKY
FROM THE FRAGMENTS OF THE PLANETS THAT COLLIDE
IN MY MIND I FEARFULLY SAID
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS
IN A INSTANT MY BODY ASTRO PROJECTED
TO A SEAT ALONE IN A DARK CATACOMB
THERE STOOD BEFORE ME ON A SCREEN
WATCHING MY MOTHER GIVE BIRTH TO ME
MORE THAN DIGITAL VIDEO GRAPHIC MEMORIES
OF MY CHILDHOOD GROWING UP
A VERY DETAILED TIMELINE
OF THE HISTORY
OF MY LIFE TO THE PRESENT TIME
I SAW EVERY MOMENT IN LIFE
THAT I REJECTED CHRIST
THEN A GREAT BOOK WAS OPEN
THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE
AN ANGEL SAID UNLESS I REPENT
MY NAME WILL NOT BE WRITTEN
I WILL NOT ENTER PARADISE.
FOR THE COWARDLY, THE FAITHLESS,
DETESTABLE, MURDERERS,
SEXUALLY IMMORAL, SORCERERS,
IDOLATERS AND ALL LIARS,
THEIR PORTION WILL BE IN THE LAKE
THAT BURNS WITH SULFUR AND FIRE
WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.
( AFTER YOU DIE IN YOUR FLESH )
THEIR WILL BE WEEPING KNASHING OF TEETH
AND WHERE YOUR MIND WON’T FORGET
I THOUGHT WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END
HOPING THIS TO BE A DREAM
THEN THE ANGEL SPOKE NOW YOU KNOW ALL THESE THINGS
FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST
HE WILL BRING TO AN END OF TOLERANCE
FOR YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY DEPENDS
ON WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO.
TODAY THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO YOU.
