As the World Burns

歌詞

The time has come to save our ruined land Taking it for granted has led to this doom Power and glory has played its wicked hand Little hope we'll survive the catastrophic goom Days and weeks and months and years Roll until they slowly disappear Every man woman and child will see The death of the home of humanity The road to hell lies dead ahead It's too late now; we've been misled The storm approaches from the west now As we sail across the sea of time We carry on; we don't look back Still we march ahead, as the world burns Prophets and seers have warned for many years Mankind will fall down to its knees When the line is crossed it will be too late To return to Eden and revel in its state Clouds roll in from a distance A sign of the darkness to come Rays of light sneak through vapors Determined to shine on the sacred ground The road to hell lies dead ahead It's too late now; we've been misled The storm approaches from the west now As we sail across the sea of time We carry on; we don't look back Still we march ahead, as the world burns Time will never end, hope is gone with hate Fate is in our hands, but it is too late Will we transcend, or fall into the well A step we must take, for mankind's sake The battle of all ages looms on the horizon Nothing short of a miracle will stop it now The rise and fall of Babylon Should have warned us not to reach so high Time will never end, hope is gone with hate Fate is in our hands, but it is too late Will we transcend, or fall into the well The road to hell lies dead ahead It's too late now; we've been misled The storm approaches from the west now As we sail across the sea of time We carry on; we don't look back Still we march ahead, as the world burns
