The Rising

The Sky
it burns in its hues
the Sky
it is crying it's red tears on us
the Sky
the fire it pours will cleanse the world
the Sky
it was told to us by His book

The Earth
will split and leave us fruitless
the Earth
will anger and turn against us
the Earth
will cook us with it's heat
the Earth
will leave us hopeless

The Sea
will dry
the Sea
will polute our water with salt
the sea
will cry for it's life back
the sea
will kill for it's heart back

The Rising
is our final days
The Rising
is our final rest
The Rising
is the world we did know
The Rising
is the way it will be

But...

The Falling
Is for the sinners like you and me...
