Mr. Revelator has gone to the city and realized that the rapture has happened. He looks up his sister in law and persuades her to flee with him to safety in the hills.
lyrics
Came home from work to find the lights were out.
a million people just disappeared.
You're all alone and he's not coming home,
and things just started getting weird.
Best come with me to the hills til the dust blows off,
I got some homemade wine and a barrel of shine.
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a bullet maker.
So, the lady goes. The lady knows, the lady, oh, the lady.
I've been expecting this for years.
No one saw the warnings scrawled,
the warnings scrawled with blood and tears.
Now it's here and everybody's scared.
But I ain't scared cause I'm prepared.
I've been expecting this for years.
You said that God was dead, can't get that to leave my head.
