Last Night on Earth

I saw people pray

I saw people fight

I saw the day turn

To endless night

The rivers rose

And it took its toll

Hope faded

I folded

Skyscrapers fallen to the ground

Children lost in the rubble and never found

Last night on Earth

Last night on Earth

Don't look back

It was the last night

I saw a husband cradle his wife

I saw satellites fall from the sky

I felt the hope that I carried inside die

I saw power, corruption and fools

I saw wild dogs scavenging the schools

While the charlatans sold water to the drowned

The lost instructed the found

But out there

I saw you surrounded by light

The fire of your spirit burning bright

I saw the glimmer of the hook

The last page of the book

Just a spark to catch my eye

And I knew I was on borrowed time
