lyrics

One more moment in the night
racing towards the morning's light
no clues as to where we go
no more changes left to show

no more time will pass me by
no-one's coming home tonight

terror seizes fragile minds
fear and panic leaves them blind
broken in the shadows now
letting go of faith somehow

no more time will pass me by
no-one's coming home tonight
darkest just before the final hour
and death will come for all of us tonight

The morning bleeds afresh, our hearts put to the test
as gunfire rips the fabric of the sky wide open
The skyline burns with fire, faith and corrupt desire
The shadows fall, the wounded sky is breaking open
Memories crawling back, reality fades to black
As you reminisce of how it was before
Hellish visions, spiteful derision
are all that's left now, of what was left before

Breaking open, war unspoken
The wheel of fortune has turned
nowhere left to go,
and playing with fire just gets you burned

confusion setting in, can't tell where we've been
as disaster strikes again & again
the skyline tears apart, bleeding from the heart
and burning up inside the pain
memories crawling back, everything fades to black
and falls apart at the seams
clawing at the light, stuck inside this night
where no-one hears the screams

no more time will pass me by
no-one's coming home tonight
darkest just before the final hour
and death will come for all of us tonight
