Some say the end will have a portent
After announcement of the birth
Of a perfect being and time
But we won't know the moment
Of the next arrival upon the earth
Of a being perfectly divine
I suggest that we are unable to know
Whatever signs and symbols show
If we cannot perceive the message
Amidst the enormous torment
And crimes, sorrow and curse
Of everything we're broken by
We need to wait for the day
When freedom and redemption
Deliver us from our ball and chain
