Het is eigenlijk het omgekeerde scheppingsverhaal. God ziet hoe de mensen de wereld aan het verwoesten is, niet naar Hem wil luisteren en krijgt spijt dat Hij de mens heeft gecreëerd. Op de eerste dag wil hij alle dieren terug, op de tweede dag alle bloemen, planten en bomen, op de derde dag alle sterren aan de hemel, op de vierde dag Gods laatste vrienden, op de vijfde dag de zon, op de zesde dag wil Hij de wereld in lichterlaaie zetten en tot slot, op de zevende dag, toen Hij zag hoe dat de wereld leeg en verlaten was, moest Hij huilen.

Songtekst
On the first of the last seven days
He saw His world and said:
"Give me back all the animals and birds
They will be spoiled like all the human beings"
He heard the people cry
He heard the people sigh
But still they didn't pray
Then came the other day
On the second of the last seven days
He saw His world and said:
"Give me back all the flowers and the trees
You don't deserve their beauty and their shelter"
On the third of the last seven days
He saw His world and said:
"Put out all the stars and the moon
You don't deserve a compass in your darkness"
He heard the people cry
He heard the people sigh
But still they didn't pray
Then came the other day
On the fourth of the last seven days
He saw His world and said:
"Give me back my last friends on this world
For they will die like all those terrible traitors"
On the fifth of the last seven days
He saw His world and said:
"Give me back the wonderful sun
You don't deserve the light that's in your blind eyes"
He heard the people cry
He heard the people sigh
But still they didn't pray
Then came the other day
On the sixth of the last seven days
He saw His world (He saw His world) and said:
"Now burn down this people and this world
They wouldn't hear my word upon the mountain"
And then on the last day of the week
The world was waste and empty
He saw His world and ... cried ...
