It's Coming, Better Pick a Side

what will you do when the bugle sounds
will you trip over yourself turning around
to run in fear of what you know is right
or will you stand with the brave and fight
where will you go when the trumpet calls
down, down, down, to the fire filled halls
for all you never did to help out
or will “HALLELUJAH” be your shout
i will lead the charge when battle starts
with my sword of faith, and god-given smarts
i know that i’ll be o.k. in the end
because i’ll gladly die to defend
all that i know and i feel is right
while you scurry and hide in fright
and should the trumpet call me home
while i’m sacrificing my bones
i know i’ll end up in the place
of peace and sunshine on my face
enjoying eternity with my love
as i watch you burn from above
