The World
The world to the sky grows darker yet
It has no light and soon it will all be night
The agonizing screams pierce the forest
The future is formidable and it is all set
The trees wave the incoming warning
The wind shrieks with all their might
For being enemies and no longer guests
Everything is gone and everything roaring
The shadows that creep over the walls
The children hide with all their fright
No one can be to sure, or knows best
Now the world is crumbling, everything falls
