JJ Heller's song 'In The End' reflects on the futility of materialism and earthly pursuits, drawing from the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. The lyrics contrast the temporary nature of wealth and power with the lasting value of spiritual peace. Heller sings about how greed and empire-building ultimately fade, while true safety and peace of mind cannot be bought. The song encourages listeners to trust in God's timing and providence rather than worldly security. It's a thoughtful, meditative piece that calls for a shift in perspective toward eternal priorities.

Oh this silly heart of mine
Looking for new things to buy
Nothing really satisfies
In the end, in the end
Greed is making fools of us
Waging war betraying trust
Empires only fade to dust
In the end, in the end
Safety is not for sale.
(You can not buy peace of mind)
Earthly defenses fail
(There's nothing new under the sky)
Build your kingdom all your life
And say goodbye
In the end, in the end
Have I forgotten how to wait
Providence won't hesitate
Seldom early never late
In the end, in the end
Safety is not for sale.
(You can not buy peace of mind)
Earthly defenses fail
(There's nothing new under the sky)
Build your kingdom all your life
And say goodbye
In the end
Vanity, vanity
Don't lie to me
Vanity, vanity
You're not fooling me
Safety is not for sale.
(You can not buy peace of mind)
Earthly defenses fail
(There's nothing new under the sky)
Build your kingdom all your life
And say goodbye
Build your kingdom all your life
And say goodbye
In the end
