The End Of The World
MTV2 Headbanger's Ball- The Revenge Disc 2/God Forbid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worldwide genocide
It's our affliction, the remains of yesterday
Help us get away from the destruction of our world (World)
From the destruction of our world

Running for cover as the ghost walk as man
Running for cover as the world comes to an end
Will this be a new beginning?
Will we suffer, suffer the dawn of a new age?

The flesh of man lay to waste
No hope for human kind
Only remains of yesterday

Running for cover as the ghost walk as man
Running for cover as the world comes to an end

Will this be a new beginning, to another end?
Will we suffer, the dawn, the dawn of a new age?

Tell me why, we have survived. While they have suffered
We are the chosen ones and we will never falter
As the world begins to spin round and round

This is the end, this is the end, and this is the end
We are the new rulers of this world
This is the end we are the last ones left

We are the rulers of this world
We are the last ones left

We are the rulers of this world
There's no one left, there is no one left

This is the end; this is the end of the world
This is the end; this is the end of the world





This is the end

I met Doc a couple times around 29yrs ago. At one, when God Forbid and Hatebreed were on tour. Doc had just shaved his head. We were standing next to each other. Some kid asked me for my autograph. The kid thought I was Doc. The kid thought we were fuckin with him. Doc was a really friendly guy both times I met him.
