The End

Listen to these words for they might be your last
Death is near and it’s coming thick and fast
Time is ticking, the darkness is cunning
It’s approaching fast now, so start running
There is an escape, you just have to find it
It is possible that you’re right behind it
Harmony and peace will not waste away
But chaos is angry, that’s all I can say
Hurry up now, you’re running out of life
You have to escape this miserable strife
Don’t worry, your life will be saved and won
Just be warned, your journey has only just begun…
