'bout the world spins yet nobody's pledged allegiance and why
His beaming smile knew a private agony that burns
And when the children met divinity I sat to watch the merge
It goes pandemonium live
Ya'll mutha fuckers stand up. Volunteer tantrums while your plan sunk, vivid
Play your sympathy card, son of misery classed with

from Aesop Rock – Shovel Lyrics on Rap Genius

Aesop speaks of the end of the world. God beams a smile to his followers that masks the guilt he feels for leaving the damned behind.

In the Bible its says a lot about the end of the world, but remains ambiguous simultaneously :

Matthew 24:36 — But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

2 Corinthians 4:4 — In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Peter 3:10 — But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Everyone who is left stands up and complains asking for forgiveness, but their efforts are in vain.
