"CHASING THE RAPTURE"
By 10 Years
The Lyrics of "Chasing the Rapture"*:
Wounded words from sharpened tongues
Are spewing from our mouths
Without a translation
We're just making sounds
The pride of a lion is your disguise
But the fear of a coward's in your eyes
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more than miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
Out of sight and out of mind
Make everything alright
So let the sky and sea collide
Just not in our lifetime
The end is running late tonight
The kingdom comes crashing
Down into ashes
Careful what you're asking for
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more than miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
Chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
You're chasing the rapture
Praying for a
Perfect disaster
To save us from ourselves
We need more than miracles
We need to answer
For the blood on our hands now
And save us from ourselves
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
We're comfortable killers
The Meaning of "Chasing the Rapture":
"Chasing the Rapture" is a song about the Christians who spend all their time saying that the end is coming, the rapture is coming, we must prepare for it. They are "praying for the perfect disaster to save them from themselves." They think that all will be well once the rapture comes to take them away from what they've become. They have killed people and hurt people and rejected people in the name of God and now say that all will be as it should be, just wait for the end. These people keep setting dates for this end, but "the end is coming late tonight." They have become "comfortable killers" because of their belief that the rapture will come and erase their sins. They believe that they do not need to worry about taking care of the planet and dealing with global warming and species dying out. They are using the rapture as an excuse to avoid dealing with the important problems on hand.

Listen to Chasing the Rapture!
This is the song that first turned me onto 10 Years, so I suggest listening to it.
More songs to look into would be Fade Into (The Ocean), Fix Me, Don't Fight It, Beautiful, Battle Lust, Minus the Machine, and Forever Fields.
