All is Well (Welcome to Hell)

He leans upon the railing circumventing the eyries wooden deck
Through bloodshot eyes he looks around and down, he even cranes his neck
He sees his see of heaven and earth and every grain of sand
Though he was just ink in scriptures, his prophecy was carefully planned
 
There's a whispering wind as ashes alight in a tinderbox of crops
And a wind chime tinkles, as if counting time, whilst reversing hands of clocks
But there's someone there, beware, there's someone in the maize
A silhouette with a sickle, with vermilion eyes that gaze
 
And all the deluded rats are running, for what they've lost they need to garner
All those self-preserving vermin seek the old lore and the solace of his karma
And hear their squeals of fright, as electricity storms the skies
As the lightning bolts, in the choking smoke, an apocalyptical arise
 
All is well, for he has dealt the cards upon a marble plinth
All is well, atop of the stairs, above his labyrinth
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, The World is set in fire
Reckless actions lead to conflict, consequences to inspire
 
He retires from the railing circumventing the eyries burning deck
With one last look around and down, he sees, but chooses not to beck
He's seen it all, the broiling waters and every broken land
All scribed in ancient scriptures, a blueprint carefully planned
 
The wind whipped flames dance amongst the incinerating crops
The silent sirens cannot wail, becalmed are all the clocks
And all the snivelling rats have gathered in the last oasis of the fickle
But there's someone there, there's someone with them, someone with a sickle
 
The acid rains have scarred the land with a pattern like a maze
Through which a silhouette wanders, with a bloody sickle, vermilion eyes ablaze
All the cards were dealt to see and there was nothing to surprise
Now all is well (welcome to Hell) it's Armageddon's new reprise
