Crying in the Moonlight

The moment I glimpsed into the future The moment when everything was clear A moment when I knew all the answers A moment when I saw the end was near And my soul was weeping for our children And my heart was bleeding for mankind I saw the grey spectre of our karma I saw harbingers of doom in my mind And I saw that the Devil was laughing And I saw the angels start to weep A lone figure crying in the moonlight Human skeletons lying in a heap The vision showed me scenes of the future The vision full of fantasies and fears A vision of destruction and despair A vision through a veil of streaming tears And my soul was weeping for our children And my heart was bleeding in dismay I saw the burnt out theatres of war I saw tragic desolation and decay And I saw a bleak deserted wasteland And I saw poison from the Devil’s breath A lone figure crying in the moonlight A lonely blue planet soaked in death The message told me things of the future The message as I knelt amongst the throng A message that answered many questions A message telling where it all went wrong And my soul was weeping for our children And my heart was bleeding for our plight I was told the apocalypse was dawning I was told of the never ending night I was told that all hope was lost forever What waited for us on the other side A lone figure crying in the moonlight I knew then who it was and why he cried
