The stars waved goodbye

But the sun never rose

The moon melted away

But the sky stayed black

We all waited

With bated breath

For a new day

That would never come

Put so much faith

In a false chosen one

Now we sit

Some wondering why

Some in shame

And others always

Knowing

This would be the way

There was never

Any hope

No salvation

No new day

And now

We all knew

As we stared

Together

In the bleak

Reality

Of eternity
