The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the End o' the World

MxPx, "Waiting for the World to End" from Panic (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary: As MxPx have always said, they aren't a Christian band, they're a band that happens to be made up of Christians. "Waiting for the World to End" had mild echatological overtones, being less nihilistic than this week's other entries.
"Drawing closer, end of days, with much still left undone.
Even as I turn this phrase, the end has now begun.
History is history, tomorrow never comes,
Today's the only day we have, and now that day is done.

"Waiting for the world to end,
Searching for the signs, devastation right on time,
Waiting for the world to end,
Ignoring what's been said, blind to rivers running red,
The doc did what he could, but we've lost too much blood…

"All Creation will collide and then begin again."
