Men and women sell their inheritance for a morsel. Laws protect those who break them and condemn those who uphold them with their lives.
The rich and powerful, take to themselves what belongs to the people. Delusion and Apathy fills the land.

"WHAT GREAT QUAKING HAS COME
AND SUN LIKE SACKCLOTH, BLACK
OH MOON WHO MIRRORS LIKE BLOOD IN GLASS
EARTH'S HOLOCAUSTS AS FACT
AND SUN LIKE SACKCLOTH, BLACK
OH MOON WHO MIRRORS LIKE BLOOD IN GLASS
EARTH'S HOLOCAUSTS AS FACT
THE HEAVENS LIKE AN UNROLLED SCROLL
TURNED IN AS MOUNTAINS FLEE
AND ISLANDS MOVE OUT OF THEIR PLACE
THE TIDE OF STARS AND SEA
MEN IN HORROR'S JUDGEMENT DREAD
FIND THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE
RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH OUT THE LAND
WITH NO ONE TO CONFIDE
"KINGS OF EARTH, THE RICH AND GREAT
CHIEF CAPTAINS, NOT JUST SOME
WILL ALL CRY OUT AND KNASH THEIR TEETH
"THE PROMISED ONE IS COME"
MIGHTY MEN AND BONDMEN
THE FREE AND GOODLY TOO
SHALL HIDE IN DENS WITH HEART LIKE STONE
NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO
ROCKS OF BLIND DENIAL
ROCKS OF FALLEN THRONES
ANY THING TO HIDE THE FACE
OF GOD UPON HIS THRONE
"HIDE ME FROM THE LAMB OF GOD.
HIDE ME THEY DID CRY,
HIDE ME FROM THE WRATH TO COME
OR I WILL SURELY DIE."
