Verse 1
The sky grew dark, whispers in the night
Tales of a reckoning, a wrong turned right
For the ones in power who cheat and deceive
There's a judgment coming, you've gotta believe
Chorus
Wicked's last stand, it's payback time
God’s eye’s upon you for every crime
You've taken and lied, now justice's hand
Reaches for you, it’s the wicked’s last stand
Verse 2
You thought you could run, you thought you could hide
Behind your money, your big-shot pride
But fortunes fade, and truth will rise
Now you're facing the fury from the skies
Chorus
Wicked's last stand, it's payback time
God’s eye’s upon you for every crime
You've taken and lied, now justice's hand
Reaches for you, it’s the wicked’s last stand
Bridge
The town gathers ’round, the sinner’s fate
No power you hold, just fear and hate
Your deceitful reign, now turns to dust
In a higher power, they've placed their trust
Chorus
Wicked's last stand, it's payback time
God’s eye’s upon you for every crime
You've taken and lied, now justice's hand
Reaches for you, it’s the wicked’s last stand
Outro
So hear this tale, a warning sound
For wicked hearts on shaky ground
In shadows deep, truth makes its way
For every deed, there comes a day
Wicked's last stand, it scripts the end
You were the worst, God won’t rescind

Beat not available
God punishes the wicked, and your the worst of all
