Spinning Spinning Spun

spinning spinning
spun out of control
careening along
helter skelter

every which way
spinning out of control
twirling off the path
life flashing before eyes

spinning spinning
spun out of control
lost to oneself
world forgotten

spinning spinning
spun out of control
planet abandoned
people forsaken

spinning spinning
spun out of control
the stars fall out of the sky
the moon crashes into earth

the end of the world as we know it
welcome to the apocalypse
this is armageddeon
spun out of control

a broken, fallen world
what else do you expect?
shattered remnants of truth
spread out across the battlefield

shards of truth forgotten
once known, now lost
aside from the living on in deeds
but even those deeds spinning away

the world turns into night
the dawn comes ever sooner
alas that night comes before the dawn
the long sunset has begun

twilight enfolds the earth
behold the beauty hidden
shadows flitter and flicker about
no light shines all out

the world is fallen
the world is broken
the world is shattered
the end of the world is here

yet hope remains
dawn follows dusk
no matter how dark the night
stars yet shine

clouds cannot endure forever
shadows cannot rule stars
darkness cannot chase light
the other way around works great

the end of the world as we know it
the beginning of the world as we don't
care to take a step across the barrier?
care to flit across the skies?

come dance with me amidst the stars
come dance with me above the clouds
come dance with me at high heaven
come dance with me around the Son

the end of the world as we know it
the beginning of the world as we don't
the shadows flee, the darkness breaks
illusions shatter, people crash

plastic melts under heat
the sun grows, filling the sky
the moon falls into earth's loving arms
the world shakes, broken ever more

unmade
dead
remade
alive

such are the mysteries
can you not see?
shadows cannot rule light forever
this world is a-passing

the end of the world as we know it
the beginning of the world as we don't
one day closer every day that passes
come dance with me around the Son

visit high heaven
stay a while
mortals doomed to die
spirits free to fly

such is life
a span of years upon a rock
strange in a way everything is
yet some order underlying all prevails

the end of the world as we know it
the beginning of the world as we don't
the final victory now appearing
not only for a limited time

divine revelation fulfilled
prophecies and proclamations more than nil
priests and prophets, verily even kings
herald the Return of the King

the end of the world as we know it
the beginning of the world as we don't
dawn finally grasps the world
the Son is risen, Alleluia!
