Lights Out
Lights Out
Blackout of the night
When all the stars went out
The moon disappears
With the ending of its years
Trees now turn into winter ash
While the mountains crumble into dust
With the impending of the end
For each and every one of us
The earth no longer turns
Under the sun's flaming ray
Her light forever turned off
Over a hundred years ago
As the universe now turns
Itself into an arctic cold
