Lyrics
In a Dead World
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.
The empty skies turn black
Their bones turn to figments
Desolation is in the air
This is distention
Though we linger off
It dies
Before our eyes
It dies
As far as the eye can see
Only destruction
Is it hopeless?
What can be done?
Is it too late?
Are we too late to save ourselves?
We're living in, in a dead world
Crying out for a change
What can be done?
Each day we slip further away,
On the edge of ruin
It won't be long
Before we shut down
Is it hopeless?
What can be done?
Is it too late?
Are we too late to save ourselves?
We're living in, in a dead world
It's so cold
And we're no one to blame
Blame ourselves
Now this is our fight
Because there is little left
To hold on to
And to beg forgiveness
For willing blindness
Now I can say:
It's not too late, oh! Not too late
To save ourselves
It's not too late, oh! Not too late
To save ourselves
