Desert

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
