Visit the future, visit the future from
the outer space (space space space space)
A ring of fire, a ring of fire falling on
your face (face face face face)
You dream of the dark age, you dream of
the dark age of your youth
Consider the danger, consider the danger,
as it moves

Prophet, royal, priest and king
(I know you want it, I know you really want it)
Snake-skinned master at your feet
(I know you want it, I know you really want it)
Barricade the bathroom doors
(I know you want it, I know you really want it)
Find some things you can't ignore
(I know you want it, I know you really want it)

Chorus:
I know you really gotta
Get right with the Lord
You know you really gotta
Get right with the Lord
You know you really gotta
Get right with the Lord
You know you really gotta
Get right with the Lord
You know you really gotta
