The Coming Dark Age Lyrics - Singles - Undying

I try to imagine a time when things weren't this way 

but years have come and gone with the seasons 

and for better or worse this is how it is 

is this the price we must pay? 

oh how we revere our mountains of concrete and steel 

across every nation a decaying metropolis burns 

our way of life bought and stolen with blood sweat and tears 

and the machine keeps pressing on 

our assault on the earth has taken its toll 

now devastation lies behind our sorrow 

the undying screams of tortured souls 

shall forever possess tomorrow 

within this darkened globe of mounting terror 

on the eve of destruction where despair is life 

the reigns of ignorance plummet us towards calamity 

unseen is the coming strife 

as this world disappears we stand on the outside looking in 

we've tried so hard to move the moon and touch the stars 

and now we swim in tainted oceans of a better day 

across fields of yesterday the specters of the past 

loom ahead - taunting voices long devoid of breath 

they watch us follow in their stead 

take a hopeless glance into the future do we stand a chance? 

I awake from a dream to be hurled into this nightmare 

and I long to return to sleep 

cause everyday I rise to a crimson sky 

she sheds her gentle tears on me 

but each drop cuts like a knife 

and the bruises and scars will never subside 

each passing day our brutality grows stronger 

each passing day means the pain's lasted longer 

and I can feel the pain 

and I can feel her pain 

what will become of this world - devastation tomorrow? 

hold on for one more day
