Lyrics - Armageddon Days Are Here (again) by The The

They're 5 miles high as the crow fliesleavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the
East toward the
Westwith
Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!
But if you think that
Jesus
Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The
Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
It's war, she cried,
It's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships out of harbourand the bodies come floating back
If the real
Jesus
Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down by the
C.
I.
A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But
God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in
Israel or
Rome
God belong to the yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for
Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And
God won't send us down to
Allah to burn
No,
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again
