You can see it in the moveis, in the paper and the tv news.
Sombody's army is always on the move.
There's gonna be a battle the lines have been drawn, they got guns and
tanks and planes.
The wells have gone dry and the water is bad and in the air is acid rain.
There's war after war and rumors of war from the East.
There's a rumblin in the ground and they're talkin about the beast
Good mothers cry 'cause the rivers run high with the blood of too many sons.
Some people say peace is on the way but the worst is still to come.
'cause the prophets wrote about it and Jesus spoke about it and
John got to take a look
and he told us what he saw and it's easy to see, it's goin by the book
It's goin by the book.
There's armys in the citys and the missels stand ready for flight.
A pale horse rides like the wind across the night.
and that rumblin in the desert like thunder gettin closer,
are the trumpets gettin' ready to blow?
There's gonna be a shout that will wake the dead,
we'd better be ready to go
It's goin by the book It's goin by the book
