Oh hurrah I awake from yesterday
|
alive but the war is here to stay
|
so my love, my love and me
|
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
|
Not to die but to be re-born
|
away from the lands so battered and torn
|
|
Forever, forever
|
Forever, forever
|
|
Say can you see it's really such a mess
|
every inch of earth is a fighting nest
|
giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things
|
continue to rain and cause screaming pain
|
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
|
as our feet find the sand and the sea -
|
|
- Is straight ahead, straight up ahead
|
is straight ahead, straight up ahead
|
Is straight ahead, straight up ahead
|
is straight ahead, straight up ahead
|
|
Well it's too bad that our friends
|
can't be with us today
|
well the machine that we built
|
would never save us, that's what they say
|
That's why they ain't coming with us today
|
and they also said
|
you know good and well
|
it would be beyond the will of God
|
and the grace of the king
|
|
Forever, forever
|
Forever, forever
|
|
Forever, forever
|
