Yesterday I had a dream The world was pure and bright But when I woke, it disappeared The dream had told a lie The colors that I used to see Have vanished in the air Even I have lost my shade Left memories back there Now all I see is endless dark And ashes in the wind What’s left of all I used to know Are ruins caving in Time is running faster now The days are growing thin The world keeps spinning restlessly Where will it all end? Days are shortened, the end draws near A tear falls down, like blood it sears I see the fear in children’s eyes And I'm afraid of what may rise A chosen few will find their grace Their faith will be their light But many more will be cast down Into the endless night The words of old are coming true A prophecy once penned And life is fading, slow but sure Until it meets its end The light from heaven soon will shine Across the cloud-filled skies And on that day the world will see The One they all denied Days are shortened, the end draws near A tear falls down, like blood it sears I see the fear in children’s eyes And I'm afraid of what may rise From shadows deep beyond the veil The lost will feel the flame Dragged like chains through rivers fire-born To reap eternal shame Repent before the clock runs dry Fall down and seek His grace For in the sacred word remains A hope to still embrace And shortened days may bring you back If you turn from the sins you tracked
