"No Tomorrow

The skies are red
and the sea is dead
and ashes lay the clock to rest
the night will come
and kill the sun
forever no tomorrow
As the rivers flow
of blood (we know)
and the world enters silence
once standing tall
these walls will fall
forever no tomorrow
Those who cant learn
from err must burn
and suffer the same misfortunes
filled up with pride
mass suicide
forever no tomorrow
For a pound of gold
trust was sold
and men marched into battle
a holocaust
our honor lost
forever no tomorrow
The sky is aflame and I can see
my own reflection stare back at me
the walls fall apart within my soul
helpless man, I've lost control
we've dug our grave with our own hands
the coffin spans a thousand lands
and as we're standing side by side
no place to crawl, nowhere to hide
Where once was life
overthrown by strife
and missunderstanding made judgement
a cancer spreads
into our heads
forever no tomorrow
To virtue's ghost
a napalm toast
as chemicals beg for forgiveness
inside we find
that we are blind
forever no tomorrow
The stones we set
will soon forget
the hands that had disturbed them
with no remains
of human stains
there shall be no tomorrow
[solo]
Now as the wind blows through the sky
anticipation climbing high
all eyes waiting for the end
or for a savior heaven sent
and as the thunder roars above
reflecting times of hate and love
a tear slips, falls on the dirt
the heart pains, the memories hurt
the bells toll behind the hill
as father time slows to a still
and disbelief embraces air
as the earth begins to tear
hand in hand they wait to die
a lonely tear escapes the eye
into the void the souls proceed
past and present, future seed
the fires blaze from down below
the oceans cities overthrow
regrets arriving as they wait
no tomorrow, its too late
No tomorrow
never
