The sky has turned red
And the moon has gone blind
The Sun turns its back on the mournful cries
The earth cry’s a robotic crushing sound
The lava chases the woods
Leaving a trail of destruction
The days are at war
Fighting for life on Earth
CRASH! Go the skyscrapers we once admired
The bodies kiss the earth, falling very limp
The devastation is horrible; your eyes begin to bleed
The cries are endless, going well into the night
Motherless children; childless mothers
Both human and animal,
Lives only a second long,
Leaving the world to mourn
The End came so soon
The world couldn’t cope
The fast changes and devastation were such a huge help to the end
It has come and gone
