Lyrics

[Verse 1]

As the floods of God wash away sin city

They say it was written in the page of the Lord

But I was looking for that great jazz note

That destroyed the walls of Jericho

[Verse 2]

The winds of fear whip away the sickness

The message on the tablets was Valium

The planets form that golden cross, Lord

I'll see you on the holy cross roads

[Verse 3]

After all this time (Judgement Day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement Day)

After all these drugs (Judgement Day)

I thought I was Him (Judgement Day)

After all my lying, crying and my suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough

To be Him, no, no (On Judgement Day)

[Verse 4]

The tribal wars (Judgement Day)

Are burning up the homeland (Judgement Day)

The fuel of evil (Judgement Day)

Is raining from the sky (Judgement Day)

The sea of lava (Judgement Day)

Flowing down the mountain (Judgement Day)

The time will sweep (Judgement Day)

Us sinners by, by, by (Judgement Day)

[Verse 5]

After all these years (Judgement Day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement Day)

After all these drugs (Judgement Day)

I thought I was Him (Judgement Day)

After all my lying and crying and my suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough

To be Him, no, no (On Judgement Day)

[Verse 6]

Take one now (Judgement Day)

Go, go, let's roll (Judgement Day)

To Las Vegas (Judgement Day)

To that, hey (Judgement Day)

Give me success (Judgement Day)

Seven to eleven (Judgement Day)

To roll (Judgement Day)

Holy rollers roll (Judgement Day)

[Verse 7]

After all this time (Judgement Day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement Day)

After all these drugs (Judgement Day)

I thought I was Him (Judgement Day)

After all my lying and crying and suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough

To be Him, no, no (On Judgement Day)

[Verse 8]

After all those years (Judgement Day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement Day)

After all those drugs (Judgement Day)

I thought I was Him (Judgement Day)

After all my lying and crying and my suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough

To be Him, take one now (On Judgement Day)

[Verse 9]

Holy rollers roll (Judgement Day)

(Judgement Day)

(Judgement Day)

(Judgement Day)

Give generously now (Judgement Day)

Pass the hubcap, please (Judgement Day)

Oh, thank you, Lord

Thank you

(On Judgement Day)

[Verse 10]

After all this time (Judgement Day)

To believe in Jesus (Judgement Day)

After all those drugs (Judgement Day)

I thought I was Him (Judgement Day)

After all my lying and crying and my suffering

I ain't good enough, I ain't clean enough

To be Him (No, no)

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
