Is This the End?

 

There’s something in the air tonight

Something doesn’t feel quite right

There’s no food upon our tables

There’s no shelter from the storm

Where did it all go wrong?

 

There’s something in the air tonight

Something in the dying light

There’s no water in our glasses

There’s no goodness in the ground

Where did it all go wrong?

 

There’s something in the air tonight

Something calling us to fight

We’ve had enough of being hungry

We’ve had enough of being wrong

This is our battle song!

 

Crawling, biting, bleeding, fighting

Trying to take back something that’s no longer there

So now they care?

Kicking, shooting, scratching, looting

Trying to dig themselves out of the hole they made

So now they save?

 

Whinging, bleating, screaming, beating

Trying to tell their God to make it all OK

So now they pray?

Killing, maiming, murder, raping

Trying to tell themselves there’s something to defend

When this is the end

 

Lay down your arms. You cannot win this fight

Let’s stick together in this dying light

It’s no surprise that it really had to end

We knew it all along, we just chose to pretend

 

Lay Down your arms

Stop this fight

Lay Down your arms

Stop this fight

 

What did we expect would happen to this, our World?

What did we expect the outcome to be?

We were all blessed with sense of reason

But all we answered to was greed

 

We tried to walk upon the water

But we just sank into the sea

 

Sitting here at the end of the world

With head in hands

Watching it all with disbelief

As we sink in the sand

 

We’re gonna pay for our miscalculations

Pay for our mis-observations

Pay for all our greed and conceit

The world, it crumbles under our feet

 

Is this the end?

Is this the end?

​

We need to work this out together

Alone abandoned but alive

We need to right this wrong forever

Not yet defeated but in hope

 

We won’t just walk into the light

No!

Not without a fight!
