May the Heavens help us all.
Seems Old Scratch is slinging fire.
As he stirs up everyone
with his greed and desire.
No one yet stands in his path.
May the heavens help us all
save the children from this age.
As we await our Angel call,
under Love’s wings, we shelter
from this madman’s dark dream.
May the Heavens help us all
an oust this madman's evil scheme.
Yet, why does this have to be?
Is death, scratching at the door
with fingers itching, wanting war?
May the Heavens help us all.
