Last night I heard a voice that said, "This is the end" All my nerves have been worn to the threads I only honestly have one or two left I got my faith, I got my family I got a wire fence around my whole stake If I believe only half what I read I got a reason to be dug in deep It's revelation saying Don't come running to me When they're coming for you I seen those boys kissing boys With their mouth in the street But I raised my son to be a righteous man I made it clear to him what fear of God means I'd hold him down on the Tompkins Lake Before I ever let him go to the wolves The path we walk is only narrow and straight No son of mine will wander astray Abomination Don't come running to me when they're coming for you (Don't come running to me when they're coming for you) Last night I heard a voice that said, "Don't give up your gun" They keep washing right up on those shores Man they're gathering their numbers up Those bleeding hearts come marching down my road Well I'll be waiting right here at my door It's a lie to say it wouldn't be fun If you're joining them then I got one With your name on it Don't come running to me when they're coming for you (Don't come running to me when they're coming for you) Don't come running to me when they come gunning for you (Don't come running to me when they come gunning for you) Don't come running to me when they're coming for you (Don't come running to me when they're coming for you) God is love
