Long ago, before the cold We built our roads and weren't alone We sung with pride, into the night By candle-light, we were alive Until the world, started to cry Flowers they shone, into the sky And life it seemed, so serene The end of days, was not foreseen To rise and fall, into the snow We were so young, but felt so old We saw the signs, but were so blind And thought our lives, would never die To climb so high in space, but fall so far from grace We're the chosen ones! And build from sand, with narrow minds We thought this day would never come Broken homes and crumbling walls Watch them collapse and hit the floor Years of neglect and endless wars Took its toll, this broken world If all the choices made were thrown into the lake It would turn pitch black! And though some were wise Mix them with heinous crimes Another kingdom destroyed in vain I've had enough, I'll close my eyes Take my mind, far from sight My body's gone, filled with disease Let me decay with the earth and the trees
