"The Verdict."

 It's coming to us; rest assured, it's coming

We never know; we could all wake up in the
morning and realize that what was foretold
           has made it to our shores

     Wars; rumors of wars; what we of this
     generation have only seen on the t.v
      and not firsthand with our own eyes

 Never experienced it and its horrors or how
   it destroys a nation, yet everyone here is
            an expertise commentator

Not even 300 years have been put in with the
    other residents of the planet, yet college
     students here on a prestigious campus
      think that they have the knowledge to
     solve all the worlds woes single-handed

   Think they have the right and the privilege
     to get in the faces of ancient races who
       have put in centuries and millennium

The whole world stands-up and into this court
 they bear witness; this'll be the hearing of the
              which like none will be missing

It'll be broadcast live and in real-time; if it's not
caught by you at the first, then don't worry, it'll
be told to you by someone who saw it with their
                          own two eyes

                 Its all come down to this,

   "Upon whom the ends of the age has come,"

It was foretold that we'd all be drawn into it and we
            have, no nations been excluded

                                  None

But no one is justified or innocent either; on every
                           hand, there is

                                  Blood
