The End

When the sky fades, the earth quakes

And everyone is shown as fakes,

What you know is gone, what you fear is near

When real is wrong, and wrong is here

 

“Give up your ways! Forsake your flaws!”

(They close their ears, march in the jaws)

We will survive, we have our laws!

“You are dying! Drop the knife!”

(In unison they exit life)

We will live, but here’s no strife

 

They are falling (no, they are we!)

He is dead (it’s us, not he!)

She needs to wake (it is you, not she!)

All are broken and must be fixed

(You must see it’s us, or we’ll ne’er be free)
