Armageddon is Near

Greetings readers! Since it's my turn at the producer table, I've decided that my next song to be recorded is the Munson penned classic "Armageddon Is Here". I'm quite certain that this song started out as a Stickmen "gag" song, and frankly, it hasn't strayed much farther than that. I always envisioned it as a "metal" song, which will make for a break from what the BNB team has produced to date.

The problem is that I've forgotten some of the lyrics. Surprise. Here's what I've got so far:

Armageddon is here. You'd better go to church and pray.
Armageddon is here. The world is gonna end today.

The world collapsed around three AM.
The ground split apart in a blinding flash.
First the rumbling burst my ears.
And then the silence left me all alone.

Armageddon is here. You'd better go to church and pray.
Armageddon is here. The world is gonna end today.

We wandered the wasteland for day after day.
Looking for a place not to be afraid.
Ran into the last band on earth.
The the troubles began all again.

Armageddon is here. You'd better go to church and pray.
Armageddon is here. The world is gonna end today.

We'll welcome armageddon with the banging drums

Drum solo

Armageddon is here. You'd better go to church and pray.
Armageddon is here. The world is gonna end today.


(key switch)
Armageddon is here. You'd better go to church and pray.
Armageddon is here. The world is gonna end today.




So you can see that I'm missing the first three lines of the last verse. If you have any ideas, or have a recording of this song handy, please mail them in. I'll be doing my own research, but I think it's up to Bill.
