Before the Days of Trouble Come

Work and revel 'neath the sun before the days of trouble come

For all kittens must soon grow into cats

But soft, beware with knowledge fair not to let down all of your hair

For yet there live fierce canines and black rats

There's nothing new beneath our star that hasn't been in times afar

Removed by numbered aeons stretching long

Some take these truths as metaphor, others ascribe them more than law

Regarding morals teaching right and wrong

Yet words and stars have lifespans too, and all will pass away

In lieu of long additions building to a sum

Take heed, for our world's end is near

And take heed that your soul is clear

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those days of trouble come

Before those days of trouble come

Before those final days of trouble come

Before those troubles come

Before those days of troubles come

Before these days of troubles come
