The End of Days

The world lies silently sleeping The day of judgement has come This day is one of awe and wonder But feared by many and none I looked out across the seafront The waters calm and still Across the meadow was quiet Nothing stirred on the hill Everything was holding its breath Nothing dare speak or move Everything waiting, waiting To see what it’s made to prove Had we as a world, as one and all Done enough to make it through? Only the one who judges and knows Could tell us what really was true Fire would consume us all Or feathers protect us from fate Depending on the judgement All we could do was wait Then very softly from the sky The feathers, through air and trees The one who judges sent the sign And everything moved with ease The end of days as we knew them Time to start over and new The judge had passed his sentence Repayment was now due
