Beginning of The Living End
by Randy Stonehill

Album: Lost Art of Listening

You better say what you need to say
You better do what you've got to do
Today has come it's the only one the Lord has promised you
You know I had so many friends, so many have flown away
I turn around they're gone, the list gets longer seems like every day

Hey hey hey'
Destiny's calling you and me it's rolling up around the bend
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
It's the beginning of the living end

We fiddle while Rome's on fire goin' deaf from the madding crowd
Got bread and circus blind on purpose music pumped up loud
The Titanic's going down, we're just too scared to think
You can rearrange the deck chairs baby, ship's still gonna sink

Hey hey hey'.
Minutes flow like liquid gold man they're never coming back again
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
It's the beginning of the living end

We wonder through these ruins bewildered kings of dust
Sad and disillusioned betrayed by our own lust
This myth of the human spirit rising up against all odds
That's the deadly dream of darkness from the mouth of man made gods

Every soul is a precious jewel everybody better count the cost
We should all take a wake-up call from the thief up on the cross
In Jesus' beautiful eyes he looked into Eternity
Said, "I'm a guilty man now I understand won't you please remember me."

Hey, hey, hey, hey hear what I say
We're all stained with the mark of Cain only holy blood can cleanse
Reach for the sky, reach for the sky, reach for the sky
It's the beginning of the living end
