When the end of the world came 
It passed like an awkward remark. 
No light for believers 
No scientists left in the dark 
And no-one proved right 
And no-one was wrong 
We weren’t left alone 
And we didn’t belong 
When the end of the world came 
It passed like an awkward remark 

When the end of the world came 
We thought they were just crying wolf again 
No time for forgiveness 
No time for the meaningless blame again 
And the sound, it was soft 
And the weather was warm 
The sky had forgotten 
To put up a storm 
When the end of the world came 
We thought they were just crying wolf. 

We knew we were the fortunate ones 
We’d always been right and we knew all along 
That if there is a [bad word]  it’s a heavenly song 
Sung by those we’d always labelled as wrong. 

When the end of the world came 
Everyone swore that they’d seen [bad word] 
No matter their creed or conviction 
They knew they had seen [bad word] 
They’d seen the pattern 
In scriptures or Saturn 
In beakers or latin 
Dan Brown’s antimatter 
The end of the world came 
And everyone swore that they’d known. 

When the end of the world came 
We all were sorta relieved! 
We looked at our pictures 
And saw what we’d finally achieved. 
No need for regret 
And forget all the need 
All of our assets 
Were frozen or freed 
When the end of the world came 
We all looked kinda relieved. 

We knew we were the fortunate ones 
We’d always been right and we knew all along 
That if there is a [bad word]  it’s a heavenly song 
Sung by those who’d always labelled us as wrong 

When the end of the world came 
I sat and I sipped my earl grey. 
No-one was gendered or violent 
Or straight or [bad word] 
No-one afflicted 
By war or religion 
We all turned to dust 
And the dust was beginning 
To bundle together 
To start the whole story again…
