On March 2, 2007 at around 4pm PST. "The Beginning of the End" was played on Jed the Fish's program on KROQ as his "Catch of the Day." Early the next morning, after the song was played again on KROQ, a radio-quality rendition of the track began to circulate the internet. [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=20993]

==Lyrics==
Down on your knees you'll be left behind – this is the beginning
Watch what you think they can read your mind – this is the beginning
I got my mark see it in my eyes – this is the beginning
My reflection I don't recognize – this is the beginning

We think we've climbed so high
Up all the backs we've condemned
We face our consequence
This is the beginning of the end

You wait your turn you'll be last in line – this is the beginning
Get out the way because I'm getting mine – this is the beginning
God helps the ones that can help themselves – this is the beginning
May be too late as far as I can tell – this is the beginning

We think we've come so far
On all our lies we depend
Facing our consequence
This is the beginning of the end
