Song of the Indeterminate Time Period, 21 July 2K7

Yeah, can you hear the call?
In our rambling land
Sussurations, that can expand
Beyond all hope of light
And plunge us into unrelenting night

A pall on truth and reason
It feels like hunting season
So avoid those lines of sight
And we'll set this right

Welcome to the New Dark Ages
Yeah, I hope you're living right
These are the New Dark Ages
And the world might end tonight

Now come ye children, one and all
Let's heed Ezekiel's call
Abide until the word is good and ripe
And get plucked clean out of sight

The world will be erased
Our kin will be immaculate ejaculate in space
Before the King of Kings' love, he'll snatch us from above
Brothers, please help me sing it

Welcome to the New Dark Ages
Yeah, I hope you're living right
These are the New Dark Ages
And the world might end tonight

So, how do you sleep?
There's nothing to keep
This is deep
Because we're animals... with golden rules who
Who can't be moved by rational views

Welcome to the New Dark Ages
Yeah, I hope you're living right
These are the New Dark Ages
Sing it again, yeah
These are the New Dark Ages
I hope you're living right
And the world might end tonight
