THE APOCALYPSE

They drink the life of the innocence

Crush the flowers beneath their feet

It's been happening for a very long time now

But soon they'll have nothing to eat

 

Their mouths are open

Their eyes are empty

Their bodies are hollow

With it who sent me

 

The life is leaving without a trace

And they're all engaged in this race

A race against time, a race to the place

A race to all that they didn't know they were working for

 

The blood is dripping from their mouths

The innocence fills their stomachs

Their claws are reaching to the ground

It is covered in green paper slips

 

They kneel with their faces to the sky

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

And they pray in desperate screams,

"Oh, sweet God, forgive us . . ."
