The sixth day I?ll give him free will to conquer it all. And he?ll have dominion on everything both big and small. But look what he?s doing it really is quite a mess. Perhaps I acted in error, I?ll take a rest.

Now there?s a world pervaded with hate. And I fear it may be too late, to wipe these seven days.
