World is ending, world is ending
People pack your bags
I know you don’t believe me for
You’ve heard a lot of gags
This time I am quite certain
We are nearing doom
So hide yourself in nooks and
Corners of your room
Or just come out in the open
See what I do see
Nature can be beautiful but
She can also be angry
How wonderful it would be
If the world was destroyed tomorrow
Humans wiped out completely
No happiness, no sorrow
Planets will keep turning
With no animals nor birds
Stars will keep burning
No compliments, no hurting words
Just mountains, dust and sand
Tell me, don’t you agree with me?
Just water, air and land
How wonderful it would be
Once upon a time there lived a young boy
Who never knew his mother and never knew joy
Born in the fields and raised with the cows
Earned his petty wages as he worked those plows
One night as I lay next to him to sleep
His face began to glow. My heart gave a leap
He grabbed my hand and pulled me close
He whispered a song that only God would know
I really don’t remember much about that night
Except that his eyes were shining bright
Next day morn’ when I awoke
He was still singing the song of which I earlier spoke
The rest of the village took him to be mad
He frightened the children and scared their dads
So they beat him up, packed his bags and threw him away
He was no longer welcome for another day
As he left, he still hummed that song
Nobody knew just what was wrong
In my heart there lay a deep fear
His words were obscure; but language clear
For God came down and shone that light
I was the witness of the secret of that night
The path is long and tortuous
Neither time is on our side
We being less adventurous
Won’t take it in our stride
‘Stead we’ll path a new way
Different than where we are
Leave hope for some other day
Leave it distant and afar
A hundred paths you can take
Only one of them leads to ‘Us’
That path can cause heart ache
That path is long and tortuous
Time was supposed to heal me
But I ain’t done much healing
Love was supposed to fill me
But I ain’t got that feeling
So empty and lonely I feel inside
The dark nights that I sat and cried
Are coming back to haunt me
Chain me with their sadness
Well I suppose they want me
To dive into the madness
The end of the tunnel promises light
I ain’t got left with much of a fight
The road seems unending to me
Strange voices I hear calling
Out from the shadows to me
Getting louder as I start falling
In the depths where they’d steal me
Eventually time will heal me
The light will get to you
The stars conspired
The angels refused
To sing their songs
Or pay their dues
How could we then be together?
…
The sun went dark
The heavens blinked
Time stood still
Love was extinct
How could we then be together?
…
Lights went out
Nights did weep
When they found
The Gods asleep
How could we then be together?
…
The heavens burst
Clouds were dry
Children of Joy
Began to cry
How could we then be together?
…
I waited for you
You waited for me
Two souls waited
For eternity
How could we then be together
When the stars conspired with each other?
