Once in a future dream
I saw a tale unfold
Not far away
I'd dare to say
There was a world unknown
Torn to a million shreds
Crippled with fear
It would appear
Then came a voice from the stars
And all were listening to
A message from heaven
A message from heaven
For the mighty that fell
And the wise men as well
Came a message from heaven
"Very sorry all;... welcome to hell"
Dark was the barren land
Home to a savage race
What had I missed
Who deserved this?
Then did the masses cry
Cry with an angry rage
Cursing the names
Of who were to blame
And so the truth was revealed
Everyone knew it was
A message from heaven
A message from heaven
For the mighty that fell
And the wise men as well
Came a message from heaven
"Very sorry all;... welcome to hell"
I kept my distance
Wanted no part of this world
The hateful existence
The rot that this fate had unfurl
Get me out of this world
A message from heaven
A message from heaven
For the mighty that fell
And the wise men as well
Came a message from heaven
"Very sorry all;... welcome to hell"
You've blown it all
Welcome to hell
I had a dream (in the future) of a world that destroyed itself and left the planet torn apart, the people angry at those who had caused it all. A message came from the stars (heaven), presumably powerful, enlightened aliens, letting the world know that they had created Hell. I had wanted no part of my world and its ways: war, strife, poverty, environmental destruction. What had a missed? Could that world be the Earth I had left behind?
