Prophecy

Brandee Mumma 1974 (Washington)



Voices cloud the stairway,this good earth is turning bad.
The air here is too thick to breathe.
Our world is going mad.
Swirling colors down the shaft and innocense is dead. I have no power to control the things inside my head. My heart is blackend hatred and the horse is on his back. Theres a million dirty children teaching babies to attack. The rolling greyness in the sky, the hell we've made this land, but why ask who has fault here, when there's blood on every hand. Honor all who seek a smile in this pit we're forced to roam, and turn your heart from anyone who would choose to call it home. The son of God once walked her, his life they did repeal, you won't believe the ignorance this world will soon reveal. The stars are falling one by one, where are u in line? Four billion  faces burning bright all traces lost in time. The plank is weighing heavy and the sword comes to your back, will you turn away hostility or let your soul fade black? The smokey fires of hell you say I'll go there when I die? Look around what do you see, what looks you in the eye? This is it my foolish friends your burned your fires well, but who said you would have to die before you would burn in hell.
