lyrics

So this is how the world ends
It's innocent enough
A hint of hesitation
The implications of

It’s not how I imagined
The famines and the floods
Just one unguarded moment
Before the horror comes

The subtle self-negation
The transubstantial bend
Pretend that I’m a woman
Imagine other men

A natural disaster
The wrath of God above
The wrong end of the rapture
The limits of this love

We’ve come to burn your churches down
Your mercy serves no purpose now
Can’t you know the light
In the sky’s gone out?

No prayers were ever answered
No untold loves confessed
No consciences forgiven
No consequences left

And all at once, the saddest sound
A clap just like a thundercloud
The little birds, their hearts just gave out
To burst against the ground

And then the world is over
So this is how it ends
You act like nothing happened
It’s hard to comprehend

We’ve come to burn your churches down
Your mercy serves no purpose now
Don’t you see the light
In the sky’s gone out?
