I just took a trip Into a bottomless well Face to face with the madness That's been cracking my shell All around me, decay Burning in my eyes I can see no way To save our lives Pray! I hear little children Begging for relief I hear all of us say Don't even bother me Tomorrow it could be you Tomorrow it could be me We're all in the same slimy boat And we're all going to sink Pray! See the children dying Hear the mothers crying It's a dark world after all Misery inherent, happiness deterrent It's a dark world after all Hear the children calling As the bombs are falling It's a dark world after all Hear the bellies rumble As the cities crumble It's a dark world after all When was it that I first realised that Saint Vitus was not just a band, but a philosophy, a moral code, and a way of life? Digging through the waste Of a tortured land You'll meet others, like you The last trace of man Everybody's crying And everybody screams You will turn your head and say I only care about me Pray!
