When the empire gave itself away To the reign of the holy and divine And surrendered all authority To the palms of hands aligned Assemblies and great councils rose With theories carved in fire From riddles once unbroken In the chapters of the sacred choir Decades later came the dusk Of seas turned red by endless cries Where gas had choked the final breath Of millions silenced as they died Then the prophecy emerged From studies buried deep Seeking in the ancient words The secret it must keep As data crossed and visions merged A radical truth took hold The line between beginning and end The tale of how the end unfolds From the book of revelations A timeline would appear How much longer must we wait Until the end draws near? And a vow was heard by He who never dies It shall be for a time, two times And half a time In the eternal words that never lie Till the year of twenty sixty By Newton’s prophecy The eagle shall soar once more Above the serpent-ridden land Where water wets the earth no more And the Sun strikes down with blistered hands To the halls of the shadowed state Where tongues shall breathe out flame The sacred fire will descend On the souls who died unnamed From the book of revelations A timeline would appear How much longer must we wait Until the end draws near? And a vow was heard by He who never dies It shall be for a time, two times And half a time In the eternal words that never lie Till the year of twenty sixty By Newton’s prophecy The letter has been written And placed in lawmakers’ hands These shall be the final Breaths of all creation's land
