The day will end, as it does, and the world will go to sleep,

People coming home to rest, from the daily lives they lead,

They may be good or bad or both, but all will seek reprieve,

I sometimes think if the world should end, I hope it’s in peace,

Let us all just disappear, and fade out in endless dream,

Let cities fall to lidded eyes, and earth return to trees,

Send people to bed, and let us crumble into the sea,

Know on that day, the dawn still rises slowly, stubbornly
