Beginning of the End

[Verse 1]

The time has come

And as I reach up to the sky

The love will never die

At last, it's here

The darkest sky begins to clear

The final hour draws near

But the voices are calling me

Erasing the pain and the fear

[Chorus]

So lay me down

Lay me to rest

It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning of the end

[Verse 2]

And so, we'll rise

By the grace of God alone

His words are carved in stone

I'm never gone

I'll always be within your heart

Waiting's the worst part

Now the voices are calling me

Soothing me and easing the pain and the fear

[Chorus]

So lay me down

Lay me to rest

It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning of the end

[Verse 3]

And I see my life pass quickly by

I am watching

All these years, we thought we were so wise

They mean nothing

Walk alone into the dying mist

Come alive forever

See the things we've never seen before

Hand in hand together

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

The falling rays are lighting up the open door

We've all been waiting for

Where the voices are calling me

Showing the path that is clear

[Chorus]

So lay me down

Lay me to rest

It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning

So lay me down (So lay me down)

Lay me to rest (Lay me to rest)

It's over now 'cause I know it's the beginning (The beginning) of the end
