"… The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and in the fountains of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became Wormwood, and many died of the water, because it was made bitter …" 


I can see God's unborn son 
Playing with a loaded gun 
All our sins … 
He'll die for us … 
Or did somebody lie to us? 


I can see the shape of God 
Drowning in a pool of blood 
A mighty choir of ancient generations sings 
Behold! The hand of death 
Squeezing out earth's final breath 
The stars are falling from the sky 
And I know why 


See God and his hand of death 
Sqeezing out earth's final breath 
How did it all come to this? 
Brought to us by Judas' kiss 


I watch the sun go out 


I've lived to see the end 


As I watch the sun go out 
My loss of faith replaced by doubt 


All our sins … 
He'll die for us … 
Or did somebody lie to us? 


Let us pour one final drink 
Fill the glasses to the rim 
The world's on fire 
I still can hear the choir sing 
Behold! Your nightmares are fulfilled 
God just got his final will 
The world stopped spinning 
And death is all around … 


Come … Join this toast 
God is dead …
