In the End of Days

A ravaged savage sea seethes like lava underneath the moon, strange eye in clouded sky. It stares blackly out at man, bright orange iris reflecting angry flames of waves below. . . Sun fled; now all we know is Satan in the moon. For Paula Swanson’s “Blind Faith” contest

"Oh, that savage moon." Is there a song, like, maybe Frankie would sing, or Deano? How about "Moon over New Orleans." - the savage sea adding effect. I think Satan was looking down during that holocaust. Love, Dave
