Don Henley
Life In The Last Days
[Verse 1]
It’s sorta hard to understand
But it’s totally awesome
And it’s eternally finished
Who wrote it up? It was John the Apostle
And the Lord said, "It won't diminish."
He had fantastic revelations of the future news
Sent here from Jesus, sent here for you
When he saw Jesus comin’
John fell down as dead
He told him, "Grab your tablet and write this down instead."
[Chorus 1]
Life in the last days
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the last days -- yeah, heh
[Turnaround]
("Time to get the shofar.")
[Verse 2]
He saw four horsemen
Holding the reins
Of colorful stallions
That brought different things
He who rode the white conquered
And the red one brought war
And the black one brought famine;
Then pale horse number four
There was death in the saddle
Ridin’ out through space
He had Hades right behind him
Killed a fourth of the human race
All of the people, were trying to hide
When the earth started shakin’ and the
Moon turned to blood
[Chorus 2]
The sun was black in the last day
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the last days -- yeah, heh
Life in the last days -- everything prophesied
Life in the last days -- yeah, heh

[Verse 3]
So much to tell you; I got one verse
Men didn’t heed the stop signs
And the earth got worse
You’re a Christian, baby
You don't need to fear a thing
If you’re not, go read your Bible
‘Cause there’s more than I can sing
There’s a false messiah
But the people will think it's Christ
The world will take his number
But they’ll have to pay his price
They’ll look up and they’ll see Jesus
And they’ll know that they were lost
He won the war when He was dyin’ on the cross
[Outro Chorus]
And it was
Life in the last days -- surely make you lose your mind
Life in the last days -- yeah, heh
Life in the last days -- everything prophesied
Life in the last days -- yeah, heh
Life in the last days
Life in the last days
