He is observing the chaos, taking in the lack of raw humanity It's as if the entire world's fallen in love with their insanity Hear the innocent voices scream As their tormentors laugh through all of it No forgiveness from all I've seen The degradation I cannot forget So sleep soundly in your beds tonight For judgement falls upon you at first light I'm the hand of God I'm the dark messiah I'm the vengeful one (Look inside and see what you're becoming) In the blackest moment of a dying world What have you become (Look inside and see what you're becoming) As the violence surges And the teeming masses have been terrorized The human predators all gone mad Are reaping profits born from their demise The rabid media plays their roles Stoking the flames of war to no surprise Only too eager to sell their souls For the apocalypse must be televised So sleep soundly in your beds tonight For judgement falls upon you at first light I'm the hand of God I'm the dark messiah I'm the vengeful one (Look inside and see what you're becoming) In the blackest moment of a dying world What have you become (Look inside and see what you're becoming) When you die You'll know why For you cannot be saved With all the world enslaved When you die You'll know why You'll die You'll know why For you cannot be saved This world is too depraved When you die You'll know why I'm the hand of God I'm the dark messiah I'm the vengeful one (Look inside and see what you're becoming) In the blackest moment of a dying world What have you become (Look inside and see what you're becoming) I'm the hand of God I'm the dark messiah I'm the vengeful one (Look inside and see what you're becoming) In the blackest moment of a dying world What have you become (Look inside and see what you're becoming) (Look inside and see what you're becoming)
