Armageddon

A grey and sunless sky above

Lies heavy on the earth

Fire storms acid rain

Celebrating birth

Fall on down to corpses

Rotting in the streets

Baste in their own blood upon

The pavement from the heat

Maggots crawl

From festering sores

Soon will turn to flies

Spread disease across the land

To the lucky who've survived

Minds asleep are restless

With reminiscent desire

Sinners writhe in pain

And fright baptism by fire

Cities once great

Of stone and steel

Now lie black and burning

Drifting far and fast away

A dying world stops turning

A shroud of darkness

Steals the earth

Its solar womb

Hopelessly I've given up

Prepared to meet my doom
