| I try to imagine a time when things weren’t this way
|
| But years have come and gone with the seasons
|
| And for better or worse this is how it is
|
| Is this the price we must pay?
|
| Oh how we revere our mountains of concrete and steel
|
| Across every nation a decaying metropolis burns
|
| Our way of life bought and stolen with blood sweat and tears
|
| And the machine keeps pressing on
|
| Our assault on the earth has taken it’s toll
|
| Now devastation lies behind our sorrow
|
| The undying screams of tortured souls
|
| Shall forever possess tomorrow
|
| Within this darkened globe of mounting terror
|
| On the eve of destruction where despair is life
|
| The reigns of ignorance plummet us towards calamity
|
| Unseen is the coming strife
|
| As this world disappears we stand on the outside looking in
|
| We’ve tried so hard to move the moon and touch the stars
|
| And now we swim in tainted oceans of a better day
|
| Across fields of yesterday the specters of the past
|
| Loom ahead — taunting voices long devoid of breath
|
| They watch us follow in their stead
|
| Take a hopeless glance into the future do we stand a chance?
|
| I awake from a dream to be hurled into this nightmare
|
| And I long to return to sleep
|
| Cause everyday I rise to a crimson sky
|
| She sheds her gentle tears on me
|
| But each drop cuts like a knife
|
| And the bruises and scars will never subside
|
| Each passing day our brutality grows stronger
|
| Each passing day means the pain’s lasted longer
|
| And I can feel the pain
|
| And I can feel her pain
|
| What will become of this world — devastation tomorrow?
|
| Hold on for one more day |
