Goodbye Cruel World

Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss you when you are gone.
I'm looking for a better place,
Where I feel like I belong.

Goodbye cruel world!
I'm not sorry you have to go.
I'm looking for the time,
when only love and peace will grow

Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss all of your violence.
When finally joy reigns supreme,
And all hatred will be silenced.

Goodbye cruel world!
Good riddance to all your badness.
There is an end in sight,
to all mourning, pain and sadness

Goodbye cruel world!
So long to you and your ruler.
Be happy your judgement day,
doesn't come any sooner.

Goodbye cruel world!
I won't miss your evil ways.
God's Kingdom is at hand,
His new world is here to stay.
