lyrics
RAPTURE
Cold steel and gunpowder
Marching soldiers getting louder
Cold steel and gunpowder
Day of the dead – time of the rapture
Train is leaving – for the hereafter
Fall to your knees - say a prayer
The world is more – than can be beared
Chorus
Don’t give up hope – don’t despair
Just try – not to care
The tunnels long – the light is dim
God forgive us – for our sins
Chorus
Memories – some are gold
That’s all that’s left – when you get old
Memories – can’t be bought
Some things remembered best forgot
Chorus
Cold steel and gunpowder
Marching soldiers getting louder
Cold steel and gunpowder
Day of the dead – time of the rapture
Train is leaving – for the hereafter
Fall to your knees - say a prayer
The world is more – than can be beared
Chorus
Don’t give up hope – don’t despair
Just try – not to care
The tunnels long – the light is dim
God forgive us – for our sins
Chorus
Memories – some are gold
That’s all that’s left – when you get old
Memories – can’t be bought
Some things remembered best forgot
Chorus

Over the last thirty years, Johnny Dowd has been a musical explorer who has charted expeditions to genre-defying destinations that, at their heart, question, challenge, and dissect in their own way notions of the American Dream. Hope you like it.
