Final Night

It’s the final night
THE SOUNDS THE SIGHTS, the mushroom clouded, blood red skies
The heavens are ablaze right before our eyes
HAIL THE LIGHT!
It proclaims our end, our death, impending doom
Silence is golden — this will have to do — it’s the end of all things here with
you
May I have this dance before we die?
And in the fall out’s haze we’ll fade away, just one last time
There’s no fear in staring in death’s eyes
THESE ARE THE DEFINING TIMES WHEN WE PROVE THAT WERE ALIVE
Dig your bunkers fast and deep
Those bombs, THE BOMBS, they are security
Prideful nation’s humiliation when they can’t dig as deep as needs to be
TOTAL WAR, no chance for peace, it’s just you and me and history
So take your heart, LIBERATE IT PLEASE, on the threshold of liberty
May I have this dance before we die?
And in the fall out’s haze we’ll fade away, just one last time
There’s no fear in staring in death’s eyes
THESE ARE THE DEFINING TIMES WHEN WE PROVE THAT WERE ALIVE
