War

And so it goes

Two nations, single-minded hate

When treaties fail

Condemn the world, its ghastly fate

Of those who live

In troubled times, in terror’s shroud

Always fear the worst

But never dare believe it’s now

PRE-CHORUS:

The time has come; it’s the end of days

Our peaceful life: A ticking bomb

Our time has slipped away

CHORUS:

And when there’s nowhere to run

Fiery clouds of death that blanket the sun

And when the last war is “won”

No life remains, our world has turned to stone

And died in flames…

Death

A grim demise

Black shockwaves herald toxic rain

And all who died

More fortunate than those who still remain

A tortured death

Blistered skin, the cancer grows

All lost, now feel the

Winter’s kiss, ill winds blow

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS

SOLO: MARK / LT

Fate

The course of time

History’s path, a legacy of hate

All sense denied

Descending to the end we helped create

And nothing learned

We’re tracing circles once again

As the planet burns

Ashes to the winds

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS x2
