Lyrics
It was just fine,
We lived in peace,
Looked to a happy ending.
The days were bright,
They shined like gold,
Every step ascending.
Our dreams came true,
Our path was clear,
The moon watched safely from above.
But every smile,
Is not the same,
And every heart's not filled with...
Love for mankind;
Look around it's getting very hard to find.
Not every open wound is simply healed by time,
But revenge is always sweet,
And chaos is the prize.
Feel it everywhere and you see it growing,
Enemies arise and the hate is flowing,
Shattering the moon and bloodying the sky.
The machines of war will fuel both sides,
And the greed will only grow more lies;
Farewell to days of peace 'cause now it's time to die.[1]
Where did it go?
Our peaceful youth,
Seems to be gone forever.
And in its place,
A life of war,
Every truce has severed.
We'll live our lives,
Watching our backs,
Not knowing who to trust or fear.
The hate just swallows all the love,
And all the,
Truth will disappear...
Lost and blind;
Seems our dreams of peace have all been left behind.
It's always said white clouds aren't always silver lined,
But the future's looking bleak,
And the storm is set to rise.
Say goodbye.
Time to die.
Say goodbye.
Just say goodbye.
Time to die. (Time...)
Feel it everywhere and you see it growing,
Enemies arise and the hate is flowing,
Shattering the moon and bloodying the sky.
The machines of war will fuel both sides,
And the greed will only grow more lies;
Farewell to days of peace 'cause now it's time to die.
Die die die...
