In years of cruelty past
there came a new dawn
the bright light burned
melting frozen hearts.
Come New Dawn...
break forth a bright new day.
Oh sun come...
part the long dark hair of night.
The time has come...
The need for a new justice
Freedom from all these
demi gods of money.
Sun burn away...
Melt these gods
and their ice palaces
Leave nothing behind
But God's judgement.
