There was life here once

The tension, the harshness of life

Lost in the flow of time

Now comes crumbling down

The land will be covered in darkness

Premonitions of sorrow and anger, even so



Things rush on, fleeing, changing

Never facing it straight on

To all things under creation

Never facing it straight on



Well I know

(Whoa) Day the Earth caught on fire



People wander aimlessly

The great spring of life runs dry

Come face to face with a world of darkness

Now comes crumbling down

The land will be covered in darkness

Premonitions of sorrow and anger, even so



Things rush on, fleeing, changing

Never facing it straight on

To all things under creation

Never facing it straight on



Well I know

(Whoa) Day the Earth caught on fire
