End Of The Age Lyrics - Drastic Measures - Kansas

When the light dies down and you blood runs cold 

Then you know what you fear most is growing old 

The clock winds down and the bells will toll 

For the dawn that follows may require your soul 

Through the narrows there are few who pass 

Only the chosen enter in 

Seek your calling while it may be found 

For the sand in the hourglass is falling 

We hang in the balance one by one 

Turn from you ways the voice is calling 

And fear the end of the age 

Now the evil deed never goes unseen 

And the wisdom of your wise men is unclean 

For the pride of life and the lust for gain 

Is a sickness of the heart, the Mark of Cain 

Through the narrows there are few who pass 

Only the chosen enter in 

Seek your calling while it may be found 

For the sand in the hourglass is falling 

We hang in the balance one by one 

Turn from you ways the voice is calling 

And fear the end of the age 

Sword and shield, the right hand of power's 

Protecting us, directing us 

He'll reveal the glory that's only His own 

With a fire in the sky 

When the mountains fall and the heavens roar 

Then the reign of man will end forevermore 

And the fools who believed in their empty ways 

Will be witness to a world that's set ablaze
