The Rapture Lyrics - One Day Closer - Jeff Bates

I woke up to the silence, an eerie kind of quiet 

that voice inside that tells you something's wrong 

Her purse was on the table 

teddy bear was in the cradle 

everything was here but they were gone 

and toys were in the hallway 

her car was in the driveway 

I was calling her name but there was no answer 

then I walked by the TV, 

saw a million people like me 

panicked cause their loved ones disappear 

there were a thousand explanations 

from terrorists to aliens 

reporter said it's worse then we had feared 

and right then I knew exactly what on earth was happening 

I was left behind and standing 

in the morning after ... The Rapture 

Maybe I should have read her Bible or gone to that revival 

or thought a little more about my soul 

But I didn't have no time for Jesus 

or see how a cross could free us 

or believed there was a heaven like I was told 

now I'm still here praying I could go 

and toys are in the hallway 

her car is in the driveway 

she said this would happen someday 

Oh and everybody's asking what on earth is happening 

and I'm left behind and stranded, trembling with the answer....The Rapture 

The Rapture 

The Rapture
