The World's Greatest Show
The world is ending, oh how can this be?
What's going to happen? We must wait and see
The devil is alive, he is king of this Earth
His demons are dancing, for this is their turf
They poison our food, our water, our air
They keep us in darkness, this I cannot bare
They've come for our minds, our bodies, our souls
How will this end? Nobody knows
They modify the weather, they set forests ablaze
They keep us in fear, stuck in a haze
They feed us lies on the news every night
They despise us, divide us, they want us to fight
The good book warned of the deception to come
How could we have missed all the songs that they've sung?
They've created the chaos so they could sell us the cure
Now they want to inject us, with poison, I'm sure
One shot, two shots, three shots, four
Take them or else you can't step out your door
They've turned us all against one another,
Brother against sister, daughter against mother
Dear ones, can't you see? This was always the plan
Destroy faith in God to replace him with man
Our leaders are corrupt, they want us to fall
If we don't come together, they will destroy us all
Don't listen to the lies, don't succumb to your fears
Love one another and fight through your tears
All hope is not lost... we still have a chance
The awakening is coming to break us from trance
The evil that plagues us will not win this war
Despite what we've witnessed heretofore
The darkness is fading, turn your eyes to the light
Do not be fooled by the apparent blight
Our ascension is coming, it has been predicted
Humanity will rise, as has been depicted
Hold on fellow humans, I want you to know
You have front row seats to the world's greatest show
-Nadia Elyse-
