Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away While the spirits come and go without a sound And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me I don't ever hang my soul out on the line When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home. There's a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Now you once asked me why we can't communicate But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away While the spirits come and go without a sound Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There's a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

We're sinking deeper No future, no hope They stole and shut off every spark that we owned Like vermins they're feeding on leeching and suffering Erasing what's left We're sinking deeper Deceiving their troopers into thinking theirs is the good fight is their specialty (No repentance) We're sinking again, approaching the end We're falling on our sword as it was any worth We're sinking again, our hopes have been slain We're falling on our sword as it was any worth We've come so far to repeat ourselves (Once again) Our species is slaughtering itself We are doomed We are doomed Deceived, blindfolded, betrayed (But yet we're holding on) We're sinking deeper No future, no hope They stole and shut off every spark that we owned Like vermins they're feeding on leeching and suffering Erasing what's left We're sinking again, approaching the end We're falling on our sword as it was any worth We're sinking again, our hopes have been slain We're falling on our sword as it was any worth (Approaching the end, our hopes have been slain We're sinking deeper) We are doomed Will you face your victims? (We are doomed) Every spark of humanity's gone Will you sing a victory (We are doomed) For destroying this world?
