We took too long to reach the sky
Yet here we stand, a burning world
Through all this there was nothing
Nothing to say
And in the end, we could not save her
Our endless sky above came crashing down
Our oceans, so deep, bereft of life
How I used to fear the black of night
But now it's all that we have left of her
Run away from the end of the world
Where the ashes are falling like snow
In escape now, set sail on a road of sorrows
From which we'll never break from
It was us who set the earth on fire
But we won't be here to watch it burn
We will watch the sun from a new horizon
It's a lesson that we'll fail to learn
As those left now turn away
We'll be gone without a trace
Wrath, greed, hate, and violence
Have somehow now found their way into space
As the heavens open up
We're breaking on through
An endless destiny
Returns with a familiar force to
Pull us all in it again
The power that man seeks
The dominion he claims
The sword he wields
It's all still the same
With hatred in his eyes
In violence he dies
It's still the same
And no, nothing will change
