The cutest little slice of Rapture

The most delightful dollop of Disaster

What a precious Nuclear Eruption

An adorable dose of Radioactive Destruction

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is near

This Chemical War could not be cuter

Exquisite Viruses ravaging bodies and computers

I’ll hold hands with Total Annihilation

Wave goodbye to god’s creation

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is near

Armageddon looks glorious this season

Let’s all clap for such stylish treason

Apocalypse and Catastrophe make for a charming couple

Growling and grinning wide, causing trouble

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is near

The Reckoning graces us with her presence

Laughing, dancing, demanding penance

The Doomsday Clock is right on time

Or Judgment Day — either name is fine

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is near

Mother Nature in all her beauty and her wisdom

Welcomes us to her disintegrating kingdom

She smiles surveying the debris and devastation

And says this has always been her expectation

“The purge, the cull, whatever you want to call this shit”

“The end of time, I’m fucking ready for it”

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is near

Extinction, endangerment, an environment plagued with hate

She hands out expiration save the dates

The envelope is bloody and wrinkled at the corners

I mean, what can we say she did try to warn us

I pull out the dirty paper crammed inside

It tells me when it is my turn to die

I read it, nod, and bid us all farewell

Even though everyone is also going to hell

Such a sweet and tiny dear alerting us that the end is finally here
