lyrics

I walk alone into the silence
Not a sound, no screams or sirens
Hypnotised by the burning skies
A special kind of violence
Ruptures the horizon

As the sky falls from above
Take one last look at what you love
We refuse to see this tragedy
What were we thinking of
What were we thinking of

Is this the end you would have chosen
If your eyes and ears and minds were open
Complacency will set you free
It’ll only take a moment
This is no time for emotion

So much left unsaid, so much left undone
And the question still remains – did we get what we deserved?
The cities fall and the seas and rivers burn
But no one cares to answer – just silence at the end of the world

Did you believe you were immortal
That you could carry on like normal
You bought a life on borrowed time
Now we pay the price
Will you make the sacrifice

So much left unsaid, so much left undone
And the question still remains – did we get what we deserved?
The cities fall and the seas and rivers burn
But no one cares to answer – just silence at the end of the world
