The last page of history (sexton beetle)
On the screen the credits roll
who will be the next director
endangered earth as the titles scroll
will god be our protector?
I gaze into my crystal ball
and I see no human form
that harbinger has reaped its toll
no hand to scribe, all gone before
The shelf where history was all wrote
all archived, the virus edited all books
just evolutions right to cope
nature, all man's seasons now revoked
In that spring clean, past wiped away
the alien that came was it man made ?
assign our planet to a mass grave
to start again on a clean page
But who is there to wield a spade
read the last rights for the planet
rewind and delete all saved
the sexton beetles hunger vanish
who will be the next director
endangered earth as the titles scroll
will god be our protector?
I gaze into my crystal ball
and I see no human form
that harbinger has reaped its toll
no hand to scribe, all gone before
The shelf where history was all wrote
all archived, the virus edited all books
just evolutions right to cope
nature, all man's seasons now revoked
In that spring clean, past wiped away
the alien that came was it man made ?
assign our planet to a mass grave
to start again on a clean page
But who is there to wield a spade
read the last rights for the planet
rewind and delete all saved
the sexton beetles hunger vanish
