Lyrics for Time Of The Last Persecution

I must stand by the side of the mountain I must be where I know I must be When you stand and face the gas masks and truncheons You must know what it all really means It is the time of the last persecution And Caesar shall be raised He will ask for his feet to be kissed by your sister And your children will fear at his name Do not avenge these deaths do not avenge them You must know what it all really means It is the time of the Anti-Christ know what I say Make for your own secret place And others will join you there And you wait for the ships in the air And you wait for a sign like a trumpet sounding And you go out and walk to the Christ And you go out and walk to the Christ
