The earth it turns, and you're still no closer today   Your time flitters away until nothing remains   And as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your servitude bring?   The very thing that brings you hope, is what you should most fear   Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, save us is your prayer   You're all gonna die, all gonna die as mortal men   And as the encroaching darkness comes, no-one is exempt   No outstretched hand of god you extolled in your daily prayers   No outstretched hand of god   You greet each day with faith and little more   A constant hope that something better will be your reward   And as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your servitude bring?   Yes as the encroaching darkness comes, what will your subservience bring?   Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, save us is your prayer   You're all gonna die, all gonna die as mortal men   And as the encroaching darkness comes, no-one is exempt   As the encroaching darkness comes yes, no-one will be spared   While we hail the glory of blackness absolute and you fear the on set of blackness absolute   No amount of faith will dull this razor truth when we're all engulfed in blackness absolute   While we hail the glory of blackness absolute   And subservience has yielded you with nothing   And you fear the onset of blackness absolute   And you won't even be aware until you're too dead to realise   No amount of faith will dull this razor truth, your life is yours and there is but one   We're one and all engulfed in blackness absolute   I pity those who live it bound in the shackles of blind faith
