Ode To A Dying People

Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,

Thinking about all these wasted years.

Everything worth living for is gone,

Brother, i find it hard to keep fighting on.

Falling down towards the abyss,

The reaper embraces me with his kiss;

It makes me want to refuse to care,

To watch this all unfold - too much to bear.

If this is the way it ends -

If this is the way my race ends . . .

If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness

Disease encroaching on all i hold dear,

Somehow i gotta get my soul outta here.

Heart of agony, faint burning hope,

I'm finding it hard to try to cope . . .

Because liars own the world with conquering poise,

In a wasteland of meaningless noise;

We don't stand a chance with dormant pride,

The heroes of our race have already died . . .

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends. . .

If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . .

To imagine it has all come down to this,

Apathy and suicidal bliss . . .

It's all over except for the cryin',

With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion . . .

The greatest race to ever walk the earth,

Dying a slow death with insane mirth,

The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed,

White man, fight the flight towards the grave . . .

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends . . .

If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . .

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends . . .

If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . .

Don't let it end this way,

Don't let it end this way,

Don't let it end this way, i can't bear to witness . . .
