Apocalypse Eclipse


A dark moon rises, obscuring the light

Shattering the warmth of life that once fell from the sky

A dark moon rises, bringing with it a plight

The land is dying the end is nigh

A dark moon rises, a reflection of the wrongs of man

Mother earth is crying, her body− dying

A dark moon rises, its horrors the work of a plan

Nature is wilting, the crops drooping, the soil drying 

A dark moon rises, its dangers as silent as wind blown

Mother earth shatters, her destruction now sows

A dark moon rises, the dice had been thrown

Time ticks away as the unknown grows

A dark moon rises, man does not see

The food and people are dwindling

A dark moon rises, He... she... him...me...we

The eyes are seeing the earth is celebrating

A dark moon shatters, they have come

Man is working to fix their wrongs

A dark moon shatters its horrors now numb

Man has come to its senses, let us sing songs

A dark moon disappears, the light is back

Nature is flourishing, crops growing, the soil teeming

A bright sun rises, the dark has finally gone.

The nation is feeding on the life restored

A bright sun rises, a message has been heard

Protect the land you live on
