What has befallen us?

The rain will shine,
The sun will fall,
Greatness in small,
Pretty poor,
Rich and sorrowful,
The strong will fall,
The weak will rise,
The clouds will pour,
The dust will rise,
What man will be?
What man shall stand?
The meek will rise,
The haughty be stricken, 
I hope to see the day,
To see the end of the day,
Justice fails,
Injustice wins,
What curse has befallen us?
Free in chains,
Bound in freedom,
Happy in lack,
Sad in plenty,
What curse has befallen us?
Rejoice in evil,
Strain in good,
The day is dark,
The night is brief,
The world is small,
The days are evil,
When will good befall us?
When will justice find us?
The days bring hope,
When will these days come?
