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
