Lyrics[]

Here comes another nightmare
Another fever dream
The horror just won’t stop
An endless scream
But this is not subconscious
We’re not imagining
We’re wide awake
This is reality

Our world’s
Lost without a soul
We’re losing all control
Not getting closer
Every day is just another dose of torture

Now we pay the cost
The race is lost
This nightmare’s
Our real life

Better cover up your eyes my friend
The sky is falling
Can’t outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared we’re near the end
The final days are calling

Hold on now
The sky is falling down

A curse that’s
Never-ending
This path with
No escape
No sudden death
We’re trapped
In slow decay

Those words are
Not symbolic
The torment’s
All too real
Eternal enemy
Our fate is sealed

We slide
Further down the hole
The damage takes its toll

Helpless and broken
Failed to stem the
Tide of pain
The floodgates open

Now it’s one more sin
As evil wins
And misery steals
Our lives

Better cover up your eyes my friend
The sky is falling
Can’t outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared we’re near the end
The final days are calling

Hold on now
The sky is falling down

Lost all my hopes
And dreams
Watch my life flash
By in scenes

And it seems there’s
No soul on the
Video screen

But I’m green tryin’
To figure out what
All of it means

Staring at the casket
Hoping to move past it
Knowing things will
Never be the same

And that’s it

Cold soaked as
I’m standin’ in rain
Feeling nothing but pain
Until I see you again

Feel the waves crash
Loud and hard
Oh God
Lost control

I think I’m gonna lose it
All my sanity’s slipping away
Oh Lord
Press record
I’d die without the music

Each breath is closer
To my death
Except that which is,
This life
There’s none left

Let my demons live on
Through my legacy
Study my pedigree
I need therapy

Better cover up your eyes my friend
The sky is falling
Can’t outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared we’re near the end
The final days are calling

Hold on now
The sky is falling down[2]
