When At Last - 'Rest In Peace'

When creatures find their last abode
When calm is here, at last to reign
When future wars at last unfold
	it’s then we’ll feel the pain!

When tainted rain corrupts the earth
When fiery skies, this world, engulfs
When man no more shall find in birth
	it’s then we’ll face the force!

When oceans rise up from their beds
When rising Sun shall no more set
When time does find this world in shreds
	it’s then we’ll all dues get!

When sound becomes a thing that’s seen
And all the past just one big blast
When settling dust remains a screen
	it’s then we’ll stand aghast!
