When the end is getting closer And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over Just let me die
Here's the massacre A mausoleum fit for me
Lived a hundred years A hundred years I didn't see
Gave all my hope away Is there any left for me?
Bombs are splitting atoms What can the future bring?
We can fill a million choirs And wait 'till children sing
We can walk a million miles And end up in the sea.
And our lungs just keep filling, And lying when we breathe.
The world's filled with liars, Liars like me!
And I look at my child It's finite – this feeling.
Eyes blue like the sky I see all of this meaning.
I reach up to God And I ask if I'm dreaming.
So sorry I don't have Those things that you're needing
And darling a kiss Kiss me. I'm leaving!
When the end is getting closer And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over Just let me die
As my body lies here broken And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open Just let me die!
Everybody says greetings and goodbyes Everybody pays – no one knows the price
We know the price of sin The sin of sacrifice
I know I'll sin again But who can save me twice?
How much can we ask? You'll get the answer first
How much can we kneel With the air that chills the Earth?
The air keeps getting colder. My knees keep hitting dirt.
The innocent can cry without the guilty getting hurt.
You ask who you love and you don't know, no, do you?
The spirit of God just passes right through you.
You gave away heaven handed right to you And I can see it all. Tell me, is it true?
Kiss me, my darling. Darling, I need you.
Where do we go? We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
Where we go? We don't know
I don't, Where do we go?
We go, oh, Lord, I don't know Where we go?
We don't know Lord, I don't know!
When the end is getting closer And the earth has burned the sky
Now repent 'cause it's all over Just let me die
As my body lies here broken And I'm carried to the light
Now my heart is finally open Just let me die!
