It isn't a song or whatnot, but I just wanted to recommend the Left Behind series to anyone looking to dig into great Christion books for a while. The end times have always facinated me, and the series deffinitly draws up an exciting plot based on the proficies found in the Bible. It contains 12 books in all:
I have also found that there is now a pre-series trilogy called Countdown to the Rapture:
Lastly, I have found that there is a post-series book about the Millenium Kingdom (and I NEED to read it because the series was soooooo good!):
These are really a great read and get you thinking. Here is the like to the series' site: www.leftbehind.com/channelbooks.asp?channelID=95

I have also found that there is now a pre-series trilogy called Countdown to the Rapture:
P1-The Rising-The Antichrist is Born!
At the beginning of the Left Behind series, soon after the Rapture, there was intense speculation about who would rise up as the Antichrist. By the end of the first book, it became abundantly clear that this man was Nicolae Carpathia. Throughout the series, you read about his rise to power—but there was much about his "rise" you never saw.
P2-The Regime-The Rise of Antichrist
The second prequel will continue the story of the rise of the Antichrist and the journey of the other main characters as, unknown to them, time hurtles toward the Rapture. Readers will want every possible soul saved to avoid the seven-year Tribulation, and they will see why characters such as Rayford, Chloe, and Buck fail to believe. Events in Israel will be heating up, and some main characters like Rayford and Buck will be thrust into the thick of the drama.
P3-The Rapture-In the Twinkling of an Eye
Plunge into the end time chaos with Buck, Rayford, Irene, Chloe, and Bruce, as, in a twinkling of an eye, they experience … The Rapture, the next book in blockbuster Left Behind series from best-selling authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.

Lastly, I have found that there is a post-series book about the Millenium Kingdom (and I NEED to read it because the series was soooooo good!):
Kingdom Come-The Final Victory
The horrors of the Tribulation are over, and Jesus Christ has set up his perfect kingdom on earth. Believers all around the world enjoy a newly perfected relationship with their Lord, and the earth itself is transformed. Yet evil still lurks in the hearts of the unbelieving. As the Millennium draws to a close, the final generation of the unrepentant prepares to mount a new offensive against the Lord Himself—sparking the final and ultimate conflict from which only one side will emerge the eternal victor.
