I believe that we've
   deceived our sons -
   they feel betrayed
   how can we repent
   to save ourselves
   and face the day
   rise up above the ash
   do you see the wrath?
   can you feel the reign?
   lie on a bed of nails.
   paying for your sins.
   can you take the pain?
  
   act of god
   is what we'll bring
   the war's on us
   when everything's all said and done
  
   in the end we try to mend
   the scars we left behind
   pay the toll to sell
   the soul and strip
   and search the mind
   burn weaker than before.
   we cannot ignore
   a blessing in the skies.
   the dark before the dawn
   cast upon the earth
   plans for our demise
  
   act of god
   is what we'll bring
   the war's on us
   when everything's all said and done
