Ode To a Dying People

Ode To a Dying People

Saga

Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,

Thinking about all these wasted years.

Everything worth living for is gone,

Brother, I find it hard to keep fighting on.

Falling down towards the abyss,

The reaper embraces me with his kiss;

It makes me want to refuse to care,

To watch this all unfold - too much to bear.

If this is the way it ends -

If this is the way my race ends...

If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness

Disease encroaching on all I hold dear,

Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here.

Heart of agony, faint burning hope,

I'm finding it hard to try to cope...

Because liars own the world with conquering poise,

In a wasteland of meaningless noise;

We don't stand a chance with dormant pride,

The heroes of our race have already died...

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...

If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...

To imagine it has all come down to this,

Apathy and suicidal bliss...

It's all over except for the cryin',

With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion...

The greatest race to ever walk the earth,

Dying a slow death with insane mirth,

The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed,

White man, fight the flight towards the grave...

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...

If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends...

If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness...

Don't let it end this way,

Don't let it end this way,

Don't let it end this way, I can't bear to witness...
