Take It To The Sun

We came from the western lands

Brightest and best of the sons of Eden

Selected by unknown hands

And bound by the will of the ones who lead them

Our homes and our families

Damned in the wake of the earth's destruction

We cherished the memories

And prayed for the souls of the ones

Who we left behind

You don't even know my name

But fate brought us round to the same conclusion

That we must take the blame

For how we bought into the great delusion

Now we know the price, we know the score

All of us here shall meet no more

And now the die is cast

The truth is clear to see

So hold on to everything that's real

For time can never heal

What's gone in one fantastic moment

Losing the will to survive

When no one's left alive

Our destiny to end it the way it's begun

And take it to the sun

They promised a brave new world

But all we could find here was desolation

Deprived of the air to breathe

Stifled at birth the new human nation

So where can we go from here?

Wiping the sweat and the tears from my eyes

And steering a course for hell

Blinded by fear in the face of our own sacrifice

Hold on to everything that's real

For time can never heal

What's gone in one fantastic moment

Losing the will to survive

When no one's left alive

Our destiny to end it the way it's begun

And take it to the sun

There's nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

Everything's burning up inside

Still wishing that I knew then

The things that I know now

Hold on to everything that's real

For time can never heal

What's gone in one fantastic moment

Watching as all our bridges burn

And never to return

To the days of our lives as we've known them

Hold fast to everyone you see

'Cause it was meant to be

The last ship of fools on the ocean

Losing the will to survive

When no one's left alive

Our destiny to end it the way it's begun

And take it to the sun
