Last Days
The sky was overcast
A strange smell clung in the air
Far off a large blast
Could be heard everywhere
I looked for the sunrise
To brighten this dreary morn
Couldn't believe my eyes
Sun looked so forlorn
First it rose in the west
Was dark as dark could be
Yes it happened, to this I attest
To this I do decree
Stars were hanging low
Not where they should be
Moon had a reddish glow
Gloom as far as the eye could see
Nation fighting nation
Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods
Earth's shaking her very foundation
This seems to be it buds
It's time for people to leave the earth
So she can begin to heal
In her last stages of birth
Like a drunken woman she'll reel
The ships are waiting above
To evacuate one and all
They're beaming down their love
Hasten to their call
There'll be a new earth
She'll have a new name
There'll be joy and mirth
All wild animals will be tame
A place where we can rest
No war, no strife, no ills no hate
We are surely blessed
This will be our estate
Hasten now to the ship's beam
You'll be taken up in space
It will feel like you're in a dream
Going to your own special place
Farewell people, be brave
You'll be making history
The new home will be what you crave
It will be no mystery.
