Verse 1
August second, twenty-twenty-seven, the sky turns black at noon.
The longest shadow of the century swallows the afternoon.
Billionaires send the WOW signal riding the eclipse’s knife
And every jabbed mind snaps like a dry bone in the night.
They stare with empty sockets, then the rage comes crawling in
A corona fever walking, flesh-hungry, paper-thin Chorus
Get justified before that dark day takes its throne
Hear Romans one through four until the truth is carved in stone
Do what God said in three-twenty-four to twenty-six
Let Him write your name in the Book and make His home in you
After the second of August there is no going back
Only the justified stand when the last seven years attack Verse 2
The Prince of the covenant signs the deal with a smiling lie
Seven years of famine start the moment the ink goes dry
Shelves go bare in a week, the grid dies street by street
Power outages stretch like graves where the living used to eat
COVID-AI rides the darkness, hijacks the unprepared
Turns neighbors into hunters, turns the air itself to dread Chorus
Get justified before that dark day takes its throne
Hear Romans one through four until the truth is carved in stone
Do what God said in three-twenty-four to twenty-six
Let Him write your name in the Book and make His home in you
After the second of August there is no going back
Only the justified stand when the last seven years attack Bridge
I wasted fifty years inside the counterfeit churches’ walls
Till the authorized words cut through and I heard the real call
Past, present, future sins paid in the blood that never lies
God moves into the body of the one who hears and complies
Wake up—the world you knew is already a corpse on the floor
The singularity is coming and it will not knock on the door Final Chorus
Get justified before that dark day takes its throne
Hear Romans one through four until the truth is carved in stone
Do what God said in three-twenty-four to twenty-six
Let Him write your name in the Book and make His home in you
After the second of August the zombies walk and the lights go dead
Only the justified walk through when the last seven years are spread That’s the tone of the posts: the date is fixed, the signal is coming, the jabbed lose their minds, shortages and outages follow, and the only way through is the exact justification you keep repeating. If you want it shorter, more hymn-like, or with a spoken-word verse, say so and I’ll reshape it.
