2060 - Newton's Prophecy

When the empire gave itself away
To the reign of the holy and divine
And surrendered all authority
To the palms of hands aligned

Assemblies and great councils rose
With theories carved in fire
From riddles once unbroken
In the chapters of the sacred choir

Decades later came the dusk
Of seas turned red by endless cries
Where gas had choked the final breath
Of millions silenced as they died

Then the prophecy emerged
From studies buried deep
Seeking in the ancient words
The secret it must keep

As data crossed and visions merged
A radical truth took hold
The line between beginning and end
The tale of how the end unfolds

From the book of revelations
A timeline would appear
How much longer must we wait
Until the end draws near?

And a vow was heard by
He who never dies
It shall be for a time, two times
And half a time

In the eternal words that never lie
Till the year of twenty sixty
By Newton’s prophecy

The eagle shall soar once more
Above the serpent-ridden land
Where water wets the earth no more
And the Sun strikes down with blistered hands

To the halls of the shadowed state
Where tongues shall breathe out flame
The sacred fire will descend
On the souls who died unnamed

From the book of revelations
A timeline would appear
How much longer must we wait
Until the end draws near?

And a vow was heard by
He who never dies
It shall be for a time, two times
And half a time

In the eternal words that never lie
Till the year of twenty sixty
By Newton’s prophecy

The letter has been written
And placed in lawmakers’ hands
These shall be the final
Breaths of all creation's land
