It's amazing how far we've fallen in such a short, short time
The greatest nation under God is now leading from behind
There has been a great degradation since our morals have declined
The last bastion of religious freedoms being forced to get in line

As we prepare to forgo our freedoms
We have only ourselves to blame
We have failed to keep our country sacred
And now it's going up in flames
Going up in flames!

Where can you flee?
When the ripest apple falls from the tree
When the devil cries aloud for thee!
Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease
An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea
And forever and ever until all is consumed
When the ripest apple falls from the tree

Generations of Americans are now lost to this crazy time
So fastidious and narcissistic without reason without rhyme
All the drug use and alcohol they use on their wounded minds
Desensitized to violence and all the fear that fills their lives

As we prepare to forgo our freedoms
We have only ourselves to blame
We have failed to keep our country sacred
And now it's going up in flames
Going up in flames!

Where can you flee?
When the ripest apple falls from the tree
When the devil cries aloud for thee!
Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease
An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea
And forever and ever until all is consumed
When the ripest apple falls

Marriage in the traditional sense has become a dirty word
Along with anything good or christian is now mocked as 'the absurd'
Confused children are now deciding which gender they will be
And then they put a bullet in their head before they can be set free

As we prepare to forgo our freedoms
We have only ourselves to blame
We have failed to keep our country sacred
And now it's going up in flames
Going up in flames!

Where can you flee?
When the ripest apple falls from the tree
When the devil cries aloud for thee!
Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease
An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea
And forever and ever until all is consumed
When the ripest apple falls from the tree

Everyone is now dying of their own spiritual iatrogenesis
They think they will get into heaven on their own righteousness
The new age and eastern religions they find couldn't save their skin
Without the atonement of Jesus Christ they will die in their own sin

As we prepare to forgo our freedoms
We have only ourselves to blame
We have failed to keep our country sacred
And now it's going up in flames
Going up in flames!

Where can you flee?
When the ripest apple falls from the tree
When the devil cries aloud for thee!
Narcotics, desperation and all of the disease
An internal war that rages on from sea to shining sea
And forever and ever until all is consumed
When the ripest apple falls from the tree
