There's such a yearning among so many Christians for the end times. It's likely contributed to the general apathy about taking care of the planet and ensuring it remains as beautiful tomorrow as it is today.

Even DCP recently dismissed Christ's message about making heaven here on Earth. Instead, he believes earth is lost and will be discarded for something better. It's incredibly sad and our posterity will be so much poorer for it.

Psychologically, those who continually fantasize about the end times are just trying to get even with everybody for not worshipping them. These are people who desperately wish to be admired, and when nobody cares about them, then everyone must die, and the more horribly the better.

William is a talented guy when it comes to the music, but his lyrics have always been pretty poor fare. I remember the song about the randy waitress. LOL!!!
I just listened to a song that mentioned a waitress: Cinco de Mayo Caliente. I don’t know what to say.

Now tragedy is a travesty
When you’re tragically hip
One eye on the waitress
With trembling lips ….

Tom,

Good Lord! What did I just listen to? The lyrics continue:


It doesn't have to be a fantasy
Even if it doesn't last
So take her if she's willing
But don't come to her too fast

I definitely commend William for being courageous enough to put this out there. And I have a lot of respect for the time commitment of folks who are devoted to their musical craft. That said, I was hoping for something along the lines of edm or dubstep, or that William would add some breadth to the catalog of current aggressive drift phonk selections.

End of the World Blues would have been the perfect song to play as the Russian tanks were shelling the Kyiv Temple, plus William Schyver riding the package from the B-29 bomb bay all the way to the floor of the FAIR Conference stage with shouts of "Yeehaw!"
