Last Rites

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've seen the future

Yeah the writing's on the wall

And it don't look that good to me

Tear at the sutures

Put in place to save us all

Well that's your right but wait and see

You don't know

Where this goes

Wait until tomorrow

You don't know

Where this goes

One day you will see

There'll be no last rites

The future's all but set in stone

Say goodbye

To the only way of life you've ever known

That you've ever known

That you've ever known

That you've ever known

Protest the boundaries

Put in place that hold you down

Scream in defiance storm the gates

Put out a bounty

That might serve you well for now

But in the end you'll seal our fate

You don't know

Where this goes

Wait until tomorrow

Oh no

Here we go

Again

There'll be no last rites

The future's all but set in stone

Say goodbye

To the only way of life you've known

There's no time

To wallow in the undertow

The last rites

Are screaming in the distance

Here we go

Here we go

Here we go

You had to have it your way now we know

Ok you've got your rights

But don't wrong tomorrow

I guess we all lose sight

With no one left to follow

Hear me laugh now as

Embers fall like snow

Nothing matters now

Well I told you so

There'll be no last rites

The future's all but set in stone

Say goodbye

To the only way of life you've known

There's no time

To wallow in the undertow

The last rites

Are screaming in the distance

Here we go

Hear me laugh now as

Embers fall like snow

Nothing matters now

Well I told you so
