The Old Dead Tree

Compositor: Não Disponível

Does the fall of our world
Have now got
Ineluctable for real?
Like a slope
A tide you cannot swim upstream?

I don't know, my God, I don't know what to do now

The vivid colours and the smiles
Hide the storm that's to come
We prefer false hopes and denial
But we can't get away
No we can't get away

To hell with it
I just don't have the strength to find
The right path through these maze of contradictions
A sword of Damocles hangs over my mind
And I can't think of any solution

The road is long there is no time
And some fools claim everything's fine
I wish they're right to my dismay
(Be) cause we can't get away

Just fear and disarray

Sure, let's close our eyes and take a nap
As mankind is wiped off the map
I won't forget to turn off the tap
It’s your most valuable contribution

I'll only live once, that's a fact
Does what I do have an impact
On our chances to survive?
(Be) cause we can't get away
