Apocalypse

The Apocalypse is here at last
Our mighty nation will be soon surpassed

Nothing but cold, dark death
We will soon take our last breath

We can no longer put off what is to come
This is a fact that has made us all numb

Our hourglass is almost out
And there is no other route

Our time had come and now its done
Is there any hope? None

We had our chance, but then we failed
But some still think we have prevailed 

Not wanting to accept the fact
As though it was some horrid act

Such a rude awakening they are in for
When we no longer live anymore

I wish that day were not so near
Just one more thing for us to fear
