lyrics

Omens of the End
Kent Agee

Israel Hendren had three calves born dead on Christmas day
Jacob Masters’ well-water’s gone sour
Luby Starns’ red layin’ hen done hatched a serpent’s egg
And I wonder where you are

There was two rings around the Moon the night that we were wed
I took it as a sign your love was true
Now the widow Walters swears she saw a crow fly overhead
When you said I do

Oh Tribulation I know your name
Oh Ruination your hair is brown and your eyes are green
Judgement will come, no man may know when
But I have seen the omens of the end

You knelt with me there on the ground, you held my hand in prayer
You swore the world would crumble ‘fore we’d part
Now the preacher’s oldest boy’s run off and your travelin’ bag aint there
And the sky is growing dark

(chorus)

Lord help us Satan’s not the twisted thing our children dread
Oh fall down on your knees the day you learn
Her face is fair, her lips are sweet and she’ll lie in your bed
Then leave you there to burn
