The Day the World Died

The day the world died
We disappeared
Past rusted turnstiles
We persevere
The wheels of conflict
Still move and turn
The day the world died
Nothing was learned
And the future’s a tunnel stretching endlessly
Into nothing stumble in the black
And the light at the end is but a treachery
It will blind you and force you back
The day the world died
We kindled doom
We burned the outside
Took to the gloom
But history’s lessons
Are snubbed and spurned
The day the world died
Nothing was learned
And the future’s a tunnel stretching endlessly
Into nothing stumble in the black
And the light at the end is but a treachery
It will blind you and force you back
Once more we divide
From peace we turn
The day the world died
Nothing was learned
