The End Has Come...

All of your dreams and all of your desires,
Seem to vanish into the blazing fires

Watch the flames rage at noon,
Watch the red light reflect onto the moon

Feel the happiness inside you wash away,
Hear your husband's voice say,

"I don't know what we're going to do."
"I'll be safe as long as I am with you."

Feel the tension build up and consume you,
There's not much that we can do

Mother Nature has taken control over the land,
Things seem to be reducing to dust and sand

See as your last glimpse of life fades away
Feel your body fall on straw and hay.

Feel your spirit rise up high,
Watch as you leave the Earth and shoot up to the sky
