The Last Dance

Every step that we tread

The dead are behind us

Throwing shadows out over our heads

And they live far in front of us

No oceans left to cross

No mountains left to climb'

Cause that's what

I've been told

And it's got so hard to look around

And see just who can save you

If you don't have a pot of gold

Was there ever a time

Like this?

As the noise of the past

Builds up into a crescendo

The layers of rubbish makes their plea

Amplified a million times or more

But our heads just can't cope as we fall

Into the arms of the waiting mystics

Books burning, barrels turning

A billion wasted futures light up the night sky

Small hopes flash past the [unverified]

While foreign forces wait and pray

And a fear of the future is so deep in our hearts

That they'll all but destroy ourselves

Like the centuries old feuds

Being updated with high tech weapons

In the end, it's not the future

But the past that'll get us

I always believed [unverified] like this cost lives

That's why

I was always in line for the sacrifice

But now my eyes point ahead

Away from the ghosts of the dead
