Divine Departure
The light is getting thinner
The shadow closes in.
Nobody wants to be a sinner
But everybody wants the sin.
We hide behind the word “mistake”
But its all phony, we’re all fake.
Eat the fruit and trust the snake.
Enjoy the game forget the stakes.
Because the light is getting thinner
The shadow closes in.
Nobody wants to be a sinner
But everybody wants to sin.
All are happy. All are sad.
Long forgotten: good and bad
Choices made, prices paid.
Humanity begins to fade.
And the light keeps getting thinner
The shadow closes in.
Everybody is a sinner
And nobody thinks of sin.
Allie and foe become the same
Honor is replaced by shame.
Sprinting forward towards the end.
Without family, without friends.
The light is gone, the world’s in shade.
An eternal contract soon to be paid.
But one is proud of our mistakes
Laughing as our whole world breaks
The seals are broken. So are we.
All is dark. None can see.
The world will burn and rightly so.
Most will stay. Some few will go.
What happens next?
I do not know.
But the light is getting thinner,
And the shadow closes in.
