Can you feel the world unwinding?
He has loosed the ties and freed the binding.
And soon his fury will come into your minding,
Until all that you know is lost beyond finding.
A dark fire descends from out of the sky,
The ground breaks up and the oceans cry.
Out of the deep what evil might fly?
Nobody knows, so put your faith in a lie.
Amidst all the chaos the shepherd runs away,
And the flock with no leader still wanders astray.
So, oblivious, they venture into the fray,
Waiting in vain for the coming day.
Now finally the ends of the world collide.
Rend through land and sea a great divide.
And to all alike salvation is denied.
Nothing more will the Earth provide.
