Endgame lyrics

And on that day they'll tell you

That life hummed on with no clue

The warning signs were all dismissed or shouted down

So it goes

The kings all failed to tell us

The madmen failed to sell us

On what would then become the only life we know

Were they burning signal fires

To guide us to the fields?

Or building funeral pyres?

The outcome of a final appeal

The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

Lets shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

Cause all the shoulders

On which to cry are gone

The paranoia gripped us

The rain turned engines to rust

The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts

Spreading through

We bet on finite genius

Or prayed for gods to save us

But there was no antidote

Disease tore us apart

We left bodies in the fields

So numb that we forgot how to feel

The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

Lets shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

Cause all the shoulders

On which to cry are gone

He looked at the fields and then his hands,

"All I need is what I have."

Then fell a tear of happiness

Oh...

She watched the world crumble away

"Is this the end of yesterday?"

"Lord, I hope so," is all he said

Gone are the old guards

Gone are the cold, cold wars

Weightless we go forth

On wings of amnesty

All we relied on now

The city lines are down

The kerosene's run out

The fracturing of all we relied upon

Lets shed this unclean skin

And start to feel again

With no more shoulders

Shoulders to cry on now

No more, no more

(The weight that we once felt is gone)

No more, no more

No more, no more

(The weight that we once felt is gone)

The weight that we once felt is gone
