The end has come
The end of the world has come
The crimson light has shone
The devils from the centre of earth
Have appeared on the surface of the planet
Destroying all in their sight
Lava flows down path that are unknown
The world once filled with flowers and animals
Now with crimson lava and never ending darkness
The gas around the world, blood red or burnt orange
The devils laughing while the angels crying
God has forgotten this once beautiful world
Now the surface hotter that the sun itself
Some places darker that the dark side of the moon
Others so bright they can blind you
The world has become a living hell
The petals of the once blooming planet has fallen
