Hope
NYKD;N Lyrics

If there is a final hour
In the event of an apocalypse

Let's hope for a higher power
We should have faith in a divine being

1 by 1 and 2 by 2
One by one and two by two

I have ammo what about you [x2]
I am prepared with my firearm, are you? [x2]

Grandma told me the good book said
My grandmother told me that the Bible states

In the last days get ready for the ten plagues
Be prepared for the biblical ten plagues that precede the end of the world

1st the rivers will be ran with red
The first plague involves bloody rivers

2, 3, and 4 dead frogs will cause lice and flies
The subsequent plagues involve dead frogs, lice, and flies

Sick livestock is 5 the living they must fight for their lives
The fifth plague involves disease-ridden livestock

6, 7, and 8 a boil storms a fire and locusts
The sixth, seventh, and eighth plagues involve boils, hailstorms, fires, and locusts

9 is darkness so dark it's hard for you to focus
The ninth plague is extreme darkness

And 10 is death of the firstborn
The final plague is the death of the firstborn

If I said it was questionable the religions would make it a point
If I questioned the validity of the plagues, religious people would argue with me

To get at me and battle me maybe have this verse torn
They may try to discredit me or even ban this song

Well creation is a bendarwinism{?}
The concept of creation is up for debate and speculation

Been at it forever bout at it I got nothin but hurt for em
We've been arguing about this for centuries, and it only causes pain and hurt

'cause really nobody knows when you live then you die where your body goes
No one knows what happens after death

If it's Hell or it's Heaven
Whether it's heaven or hell

6 or the 7 well I'll keep the nina for our be foes in a gamble
Whether it's the sixth or seventh, I'll keep my gun to protect myself in a risky situation

That's what life is and it's hard to handle
Life is unpredictable and difficult

When the bible says worship this by the scriptures written by man though
The Bible is written by human beings and should be interpreted with caution

So when man destroys us the word might not stand so
If humans bring about destruction, the meaning of the Bible may be lost or distorted

Till that day I'm just gon protect my fam with ammo
Until then, I will protect my family with my firearm

I've been looking for something supernatural for a long time now
I have been searching for evidence of the supernatural for a significant period of time

But I never got proof that a spiritural realm existed wanted to find how
But I have not found any concrete evidence of the existence of a spiritual realm

Everybody sure of a supreme being, are people just seeing things?
Are people's beliefs about a higher power simply a fabrication or misinterpretation?

Wondering if we get wings, seems sick to believe in an extreme king
Speculating about whether humans have wings after death or the idea of an all-powerful king is unsettling

I know it sounds far fetched, every night I put knees on the carpet
I understand that my beliefs may seem unlikely, but I pray every night

Then I pray to who's up with the star set
I pray to a divine being who oversees the stars

'cause the earth in its self is a target
The planet itself is vulnerable to destruction

For destruction, for cumbustion
For destruction and combustion

'cause there ain't too many you can trust in
Because there are few people you can truly trust

Think of all the women losing their husbands
Consider the women who have lost their husbands in war

In Iraq a lot of killing and suffering
There is significant violence and pain in Iraq

What I hope for, seems folklore
What I wish for seems unlikely

When the enemy kills and gloat more
When the enemy takes pleasure in killing

'cause they killin us off in this hoax war
Because they are killing us in this deceptive war

Then I wake up yellin and my throats sore
I wake up screaming and my throat hurts

'cause the fight's there, its a nightmare
Because the battle is ongoing, it feels like a nightmare

If it come to me I'm in my snipe wear
I am prepared to fight with my firearm

If a bullet give my lung a slight tear
If a bullet grazes my lung

I wanna believe that the light's there
I want to believe that there is a higher power

So all you christians don't get mad at me
I don't want to offend any Christians

I just hope that your mystical, magical miracle's workin catastrophies
I hope that your religious beliefs are helpful in times of crisis

And this ain't blasphemy, but artilery is my strategy
This is not intended to be blasphemous, but I rely on firearms for protection

I hope for a higher power when I look at all these tragedies
When I see all the sorrow and pain around me, I pray for a divine being to intervene
