Save Up Your Hopes Friends

People who have no hopes are easy to control

With nothing and uncertainty

Rumors of wars with monsoons and tornadoes

Will keep fear over their eyes and locks on their feet

If there were something then at least that would be something

But there's not and it buries cracks of drought

Tearing apart empires and homes and the dreams of men

Sealing the entrance and every way out

There is hope but no heart can touch it

Unless it's traded wants, for others needs

It is emptiness that is left and destroying the world

Priceless possessions held so tight that it bleeds

The end is near, they won't believe it

Until a waking nightmare they can see it

And they'll know it has begun

When zero blocks out the sun

Blinded by the fact that they can see nothing

One by one they scream silently as they run

It'll start like hot rain searing through the leaves

And boil the sea turning every grass yellow

It comes with no warning and wants no reprieve

As it begins with dark clouds and silence

The oceans will be covered in water

And the mountains turned in to sand

The trees will be scattered like stars in the night

And beneath it all will be buried the land

The air will turn sour and make mothers hate their daughters

And fathers will take the blade to their sons

Earthquakes will level houses

Hurricanes will take the cattle

Birds of prey will lay claim to the rest

The crops will be devoured by locusts and lightning

And when nothing is left, the thunder will rest

The mountains in the sea will crack at their bases

And send the earth far away from its sun

They'll fall off the planet and leave the world weightless

And everything will freeze together as one

And for years that measure one million times seven

Times eleven million by seventy seven

It'll rocket into nothing, rock ice spinning into nothing

Until fire smashes it into glass

And sends a rain of boiling vapor

Like arrows ripping into paper

On to our heads, lava and poison ash

And it begins. save up your hopes friends

And send them to the corners of your end

There is something coming, and everything matters

Guard your heart, and watch the wind
