Dangerous Times Are A Comin'

In the news the rumors are a flyin'
About death, destruction and gore.
As we watch soldiers are a dyin"
Fightin' in the Iraq war.

Across the land people are a prayin'
In their homes and churches.
That the Grim Reaper will be a stayin'
In the lair where he perches.

Dangerous times are a comin'
You can feel it in the air.
And the wind is a howlin'
With the sound of people in despair.

And the swine flu is a bringin'
A plague upon our land.
Cries of "the end is near" is ringin'
As 2012 draws close to hand.

The Earth has been a quakin'
Giving the unbelivers a sense of doom.
Will 'The Spirit of Man' start wakin'
Or will the hope of mankind be in tombed.

Yes dangerous times are a comin',
You can feel it in the air.
And the wind is a howlin'
With the sound of people in despair.
