The Day the End Finally Came - William Elliott Whitmore

My hands they trembled, my knees they shook

And nothing ever was the same

I could not bear to look

The day the end finally came

The lightnin' struck the river

And the water burst up in flames

All the preachers forgot their purpose

The day the end finally came

All the children they were doomed

They were born with no names

They were cursed inside the womb

The day the end finally came

All the birds escaped their cages

And all the dogs broke their chains

And that is how it all went down

The day the end finally came
