Ruin and Rise

Ruin and Rise



The Lord came

And created the Earth

Humans by name

Unique in their worth



The Explorers came

And raped the Land

The people tamed

Into slavery banned



The Crusaders came

In the name of the cross

Massacres claimed

In the name of their gods



The Illnesses came

And covered all lands

The world in it’s frame

Destructed by our hands



The Witnesses came

Taking note of the perish

Only Angles in veils

Can hide in the blemish



The Saviour came

With Revelation upheld

We all know his name

To his mercy compelled



The Moment will come

When daylight will fade

And Jesus the one

All Heavens will raise
