Lyrics
[Intro]
Like a thief in the night, no warning, no sign,
When the trumpet sounds, the end of time,
World left in chaos, no place to hide,
The church is gone, and fear will rise.
[Verse]
You thought you had time, but the clock struck zero,
Day turned to night, no more heroes,
1 Thessalonians warned you, but you didn't believe,
Now you're left behind, with no reprieve.
No more grace, just the wrath of the LORD,
Aliens, they say, but it's His Holy sword.
Riots in the streets, cities on fire,
Looting and chaos, man's darkest desire.
[Pre-Chorus]
You were caught off guard by a thief in the night,
No one saw it coming, no one took flight.
The church is gone, now the world’s in plight,
Can you feel the fear, can you see the light?
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night, He took His bride away,
Left the world in darkness, no more light of day.
The rapture came and went, and now you pay,
For the lies you believed, and the games you played.
[Verse]
The collapse of nations, economies crushed,
The mighty fall, the proud turned to dust.
1 Thessalonians 4, they rose to the sky,
Left the world wondering why.
False prophets scream, (It's all a lie!)
But the truth was spoken, you just passed it by.
Matthew 24, one taken, one left,
Now you're feeling bereft.
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you had time, but it slipped away,
Now you’re left in the dark, where the shadows play.
The church is gone, no place to stay,
Can you hear the cries, as the world fades to gray?
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night, He took His bride away,
Left the world in darkness, no more light of day.
The rapture came and went, and now you pay,
For the lies you believed, and the games you played.
[Bridge]
The trumpet sounded, the skies turned dark,
Now you’re stranded, left with a heavy heart.
No more grace, no second chance,
You’re caught in the void, in a fatal dance.
[Verse]
The Great Deception, they whisper and scheme,
But it’s too late now,
no waking from this dream.
You mocked the truth, but now it's clear,
The LORD’s return is what you should’ve feared.
Aliens, they claim, took the faithful away,
But deep down inside, you know the price you’ll pay.
Chaos reigns, the earth in despair,
No more mercy, no more prayer.
You lived like tomorrow was always there,
Now you’re trapped in a nightmare,
The church is gone, no more prayer,
Can you sense the fear, as the end draws near?
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night, He took His bride away,
Left the world in darkness, no more light of day.
The rapture came and went, and now you pay,
For the lies you believed, and the games you played.
[Outro]
Like a thief in the night, He took them all,
Now you're left to face the final call.
In the silence, hear the cry,
The day of judgment, the end is nigh.
