Where Does It End?
Lyrics
WHERE DOES IT END
Mark Patterson © 2026

Just a traveler with time on his hands
Uneasy 'bout the future, formulating plans
When she came into focus right before his solitary eyes
In flowing robes right out of Raphael
And two one-way tickets headed straight into Hell
She had an agenda she didn't try to disguise

Now you can never get enough divine inspiration
But not if it's served with a side of damnation

There's a stairway into madness calling you to descend
You'll fit right in with all the other condemned
It's so easy to get started but tell me brother where does it end

You've got one foot through the door of temptation
When all you ever wanted was a taste of salvation

Turn your back on the truth if you'd rather pretend
But there's a record of the rules that you so love to bend
It's so easy to get started but tell me brother where does it end

One minute you're praying push won't come to shove
The next it's raining perdition from above
In case you didn't know let me tell you there's no place to hide
So just sit back and watch the chaos unfold
Looks like fortune has forsaken the bold
Despite that courage you feel knowing He's on your side

Now you want to believe in the promise of reincarnation
But who's been assigned to design your re-creation

Stay on the lighted path while you try to ascend
Hey it's only your soul you've got to defend
It's so easy to get started but tell me brother where does it end

It's so easy to get started but tell me brother where does it end
Oh it's so easy to get started but tell me brother where does it end
