Lyrics The Apocalypse Song - St. Vincent

The Apocalypse Song

Wait
I’ll be swifter
Than the speed of light
Carbon all my body
A billion years of time
You wake
With the stitches
Over both your eyes
And deny me, my body
And all earthly delights
It’s time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of All of your praying
Amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death
It’s time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of It’s time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light
I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of What everyone is made of So take to the streets
With apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of A lunatic’s gaze
