APOCALYPSE SONGS (By Other People)



The Man Comes Round by Johnny Cash

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw. And behold, a white horse. 

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names. An' he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won't be treated all the same. There'll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around. 


The hairs on your arm will stand up. At the terror in each sip and in each sup. For you partake of that last offered cup, Or disappear into the potter's ground. When the man comes around. 


Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singin'. Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum. Voices callin', voices cryin'. Some are born an' some are dyin'. It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come. 


And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 


Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom. Then the father hen will call his chickens home. The wise men will bow down before the throne. And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown. When the man comes around. 


Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the words long written down, When the man comes around. 


Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singin'. Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum. Voices callin', voices cryin'. Some are born an' some are dyin'. It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come. 


And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 


In measured hundredweight and penny pound. When the man comes around. 


And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him. 





John The Revelator by Blind Willie Johnson

Who's that writin'? John the Revelator

Who's that writin'? John the Revelator

A book of the seven seals

[call] Tell me what's John writin'? [response] Ask the Revelator

What's John writin'? Ask the Revelator

What's John writin'? Ask the Revelator

A book of the seven seals

Well ooh ooh why me, thousands cried holy

Bound for some, Son of our God

Daughter of Zion, Judah the Lion

He redeemeth, and bought us with his blood

[Repeat verses 1 & 2]

John the Revelator, great advocator

Get's 'em on the battle of Zion

Lord, tellin' the story, risin' in glory

Cried, "Lord, don't you love some I"

[Repeat verses 1 & 2]

Well Moses to Moses, watchin' the flock

Saw the bush where they had to stop

God told Moses, "Pull off your shoes"

Out of the flock, well you I choose

[Repeat verses 1 & 2]




New Faith by Slayer

Holy man open up your eyes

To the ways of the world you've been so blind

As the walls of religion come crashing down

How's the ignorance taste the second time around 


Tell me how it feels knowing chaos will never end

Tell me what it's like when the celebration begins 


Welcome to the horror of the revelation

Tell me what you think of your savior now

I reject all the biblical views of the truth

Dismiss it as the folklore of the times

I won't be force fed prophecies

From a book of untruths for the weakest mind

Join the new faith for the celebration

Cult of new faith fuels the devastation 


Holy man come and worship me

I am all that you ever wanted to be

I'm the life of indulgence you never knew

The epitome of evil shining through 


Tell me how it feels knowing chaos will never end

Tell me what it's like when the celebration begins 


Welcome to the horror of the revelation

Tell me what you think of your savior now

I reject all the biblical views of the truth

Dismiss it as the folklore of the times

I won't be force fed prophecies

From a book of untruths for the weakest mind

I keep the bible in a pool of blood

So that none of its lies can affect me 


This is new faith

A different way of life

Witness the shame

See for yourself the lies

I'll take the fight

Bring it every time, any time

Refuse to let them win

My heresy begins 


Pray for life - wish for death

Pray for life - know in time you'll pray for death 


Tear it away

It lives inside your mind

Silence the fear

That keeps you pure inside

Now you can see

Life's atrocities endlessly

Witness the miracle

Witness the miracle 


Pray for life - wish for death

Pray for life - with every breath

You'll pray for death - you'll pray for death

Embrace new faith, embrace new faith

Yeah, new faith - yeah, new faith. 





GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR (Lift Yr Skinny FIsts)

At the tone... 3 hours, 21 minutes [...] universal time


...prepared in innocence to meet our king of glory

and so we have this

you have it in your secret windows

and you're understanding to understand it and to bring it forth

it takes minute detail

it takes a holy life

it takes emotions

it takes dedication

it takes dedication

it takes a death

and only God can allow it,

and you couldn't do it if you're not the seed of God

and so the path through the great corridors

these are corridors unto his perfection

that is which the prophet and the Urim and Thummim has penetrated

that through this great sea of blackness

that I penetrated through these corridors

and I went through that last segment

where I went through these dark serpentines

I passed through that corridor

where they sat, where they are

and when you penetrate to the most high God

you will believe you are mad

you will believe you've gone insane

but I tell you if you follow the secret window

and you die to the ego nature

you will penetrate this darkness

oh yes there's many a man or woman

that's been put in the insane asylum

when this has happened to them

and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane

but they saw something that's real

and they see it when they're on drugs

the only thing is they see it

not through the light of God, and the way I show you

I show you to see it through the light of God

and the understanding of God

because when you see the face of God, you will die

and there will be nothing left of you

except the God-man, the God-woman

the heavenly man, the heavenly woman

the heavenly child

there'll be prayer on your lips day and night

there'll be a song of jubilee waiting for your king

there will be nothing you will not be be looking for in this world

except in for your god

this is all a dream

a dream in death


and so I went through that window

and the tower of hell and the great serpentines of the highest order

and I went through that when I showed you chart #3

the question is asked and learned and someone who can turn this _ of this horrible _ of my _

All infront of me can now ask me a question

you need to ask, from the right _ or the right _ out of Urim and Thurrim

I can give you unspoken words that's never been spoken, it's not in your bible

Yet, it does clarify what is spoken in the bible... 




New Jerusalem by Mark Hollis

And I'm home again

But alone my child

For the emptiness of war remains

One among five

But I'm dead to love

A pawn the same


And I'm home again

Run along my child

For the water's blood

And so the sea


Summer unwinds

But no longer kind


Heaven burn me

Should I swear to fight once more


D'you see

Wise words

Wild words 






Battle Of Armageddon by Hank Williams Sr. 

There's a mighty battle coming and it's well now on its way.

It'll be fought at Armageddon, it shall be a sad, sad day.

In the Book of Revelation, words in chapter sixteen say

There'll be gathered there great armies for that battle on that day.


(Refrain)

All the way from the gates of Eden to the Battle of Armageddon

There's been troubles and tribulation, there'll be sorrow and despair.

He has said "Be ye not troubled for these things shall come to pass."

Then your life will be eternal when you dwell with Him atlast.


Turn the pages of your Bible, in St. Matthew you will see,

Start with chapter twenty-four and read from one to thirty-three.

In our Savior's blessed words He said on earth, He prophesised,

For He spoke of this great battle that is coming by and by.


(Refrain)


There'll be nation against nation, there'll be war and rumor of war.

There'll be great signs in Heaven, in the sun, the moon, the stars.

Oh, the hearts of men shall fail them, there'll be gnashing of the teeth.

Those who seek it will recieve it, mercy at the Savior's feet.


(Refrain)

  1. My favorite Apocalypse song is "Grace" by Ministry, although that one might be a little too blatant.
