This is how the world will end,

Not with a flood,

But with a tear...

This is how the world will end,

Not with the blast of a horn,

But with the pursuit of justice by the wronged...

This is how the world will end,

Not with a war,

But with the flapping of a dove's wings...

This is how the world will end,

Not with a lie,

But with the revelation of a secret...

This is how the world will end,

Not with an explosion, but with a lament...

This is how the world will end,

Not with a virus,

But with no longer believing...

This is how the world will end,

This is how the world will end,

This is how the world will end,

Kingdoms of falsehood will fall,

Love and hope will sprout,

A new world will be built.
