The Arch of Time



He saw what had become of his creation
His patience worn thin from centuries of waiting
He reached down and broke the Arch of Time

Releasing all the demons; as the Devil himself
Danced upon the earth; rejoicing in God’s final impatience
Gleefully laughing as he saw the pending destruction of man

The Devil released the plagues of centuries past
Mother Earth trembled in fear; releasing fires deep inside
Neptune let the fury of the oceans take its toll upon the earth

The battle between the Good and the Bad
Played itself out in the battlefields of the sky
Rage, blood and tears ravaged the lands of the earth

Finally, what was left of man in all his wisdom; saw what his folly had wrought
They fell upon their knees; they all held hands as one nation, one family
Begged for forgiveness as they saw their final death arrive

God walked through the broken Arch; finally taking pity upon man
As He did once before, He visited the mountain but in the form of man
He met with the last of mankind; bound them with new laws

Man lost his God given right of choice; he betrayed himself
Man glorified himself in the name of God; forgetting he was but a man
Now he was truly chained to the God he fought so hard to make others take

Mankind saw too late; devotion takes many forms
There were ways to live in peace; all were ignored
Man crucified himself without rhyme or reason

On the brink of destruction; saved by God Himself
Finally eyes were open; all faiths became one
As the rainbow crossed the skies above; over the mountain of God
