Red Skies
We wake in the morning
The sun begins to rise
There is a haze growing
Inside our eyes
From the madness of the world
The skies are turning red
Rivers run deeper now
Think I will drift away instead
Turn around some will say
The starship needs to find a way
New worlds wait, you'll see it too
Moving on, as we always do
Leave behind your empty thoughts
The others see, the others doubt
The universe is ours to take
Moving on before we break
Count down starts, time to go
Say the prayers to all you know
A spark, a light, we engage
Lift off the rock from which we're made
Close our eyes, hang on tight
This ride will be out of sight
We climb so high,the stars are near
We float away, away from here
Silence from the world behind is gone
How long before our kind is done
Time is now - Time is now
The other time i saw you, you've been here too
You forgot the world that you once knew
Time is now - Time is now
When they lost it all
The Great cities fall
The glow from yesterday
Now drifts away
The water has dried
The trees have died
The love from yesterday
A dove from another day
The cloud began to rise
In the northern sky
One man brought the fall
The one that killed them all
Lit the world as a thousand suns
Then they saw no side won
Now there's a hole in the sky
Burn the planet void of life
We had to run to the nearest star
To start again somewhere far
Onboard the ship, we set the course
We said goodbye, we closed the door
Your story is the same as mine
We replay way too many times
Billions of people will not see
The end is caused by one man's greed
We take the knowledge
And pass it on and on
As we go around and round
We sing the same ole song
We wake in the morning
The sun begins to rise
There is a haze growing
Right before our eyes
Now you know
We are no different than you
From the madness of the world
The skies are turning red
Rivers run deeper now
And sleep inside our head
Now you know
We are no different than you
