< Intro >
< Verse >
Faces
of people that our lives have touched
Pass
right before us some for better some for worse
One
way or another we all must board that train
Stand
before our Lord on his great judgment day
< Verse >
Are
you for him or against him there is no middle ground
Time
to make your choice, whose side are you on
Righteous
Defender, Savior, Prince of Peace
Author
of confusion, prince of darkness and the beast
< Chorus >
Keep
an axe in the attic the words all over town
Too
sad to cry too late to worry now
Levee’s
gonna’ break you can’t stop it no how
Rivers
are a’ rising they’re coming right into town
< Instrumental
Break – 1 Verse >
< Verse >
Cards
are on the table last deal has gone down
God’s
Kingdom come when the final trumpet sounds
Cold,
dark and cloudy when I wrote this song
Keep
an axe in the attic look for higher ground
