[Verse 1] I saw a stranger in the thunderclouds, His eyes like fire, His voice so loud… His face was kind and terrifying, And the angels cried, “Beware the Lord on high…” I seen my name in the burnin’ sky, Felt my soul try to run and hide… No more prophets, no more grace, Just a whisper from beyond sayin' "Meet your fate..." [Chorus] Ohhh, be not afraid when the sky starts bleedin’… Be not afraid when the trumpets start screamin’… He is, He is, He is, He is the storm… You cry “Lord spare me!” but He just rolls on… Maybe He loves ya, maybe He don’t… Maybe it’s written… maybe it's not… [Verse 2] Blood runs deep where the old road ends, A graveyard built for forgotten men… Their Idols shattered, their temples gone, And the faithful ones just moved along The angels hum with an eldritch drone, And the earth it shakes like a hollow bone… I fell to my knees, my hair turned white, And a voice from beyond says, "There's nowhere to hide" [Chorus] Ohhh, be not afraid when the stars start fallin’… Be not afraid when the last bell starts callin’… He is, He is, He is, He is the flood… You beg “Lord save me!” but He just wants blood… Maybe He loves ya, maybe He don’t… Maybe it’s judgment day… maybe it's not.... [Bridge] Who stands before the Unmade King? Who speaks when the stars don’t sing? Your gods are dust, your temples lost Still, He whispers… “Be not afraid at all…” [Outro] Ohhh, He watches… He waits… Maybe He’ll come… maybe He’s late… Or maybe He never was… maybe He ain’t… Maybe He loves ya, maybe He don’t… Maybe it’s written… maybe it's not…
