Alas

 Alas 


Where is Noah when you need him most?

Where do the ark trees grow now the trees are burnt?

Where is the furnace emergency stop?


Will the two by twos be three or one?

Will the gender decisions stack the cards?

Will the iced drinks boil?


Who will decide the destination?

Who will decide the place?

Who will decide for the human race?


Are the bells tolling or warning?

Are the grave diggers crying themselves?

Are the sextons no longer ringing?


For the toll of death is ash

For the ash is drowned and slurry

For the long days are short indeed


Now rest assured is history

Now rest my mind disarray 

Now rest is no longer needed


It is time for the final say

It is time for the final say

It is time for dismay to say


Alas it was once

Alas it is no more

Alas it will never be


Again alas no more

Alas again

No more

Alas 

No more
