End of Days - New Model Army

You know this end of days, will be a lot of days

Slow motion unfolding

Every small explosion leaves a fallout

There is dust there, in your footprints

The expression on your face says that you’ve been cheated

Well you’ve been cheated but not in the way that you think

When the high and the mighty spread their wings

Only shadowed things can grow in the shadows beneath

You say you’re bored of the fireworks

Now you want to see the fire

It isn’t just yet, we have to trample

Over each other, to reach air

We will mix and mend when we have to

We will celebrate when we can

We could climb up there to the source of the river

That runs through everything before it’s gone

But when the high and the mighty spread their wings

Only shadowed things can grow in the shadows beneath

And we are bored of the fireworks

We want to see the fire

We’re long past being careful

Of what we wish for

We can’t go back to uninvent the wheels

That we ride to find a place

Like a punch thrown into space

That needs a place to land

A face to land, a face, a face

This end of days, is gonna be a lot of days

Slow motion unfolding

They’re running out of tickets for the two-minute hate

The salespeople, they know every trick, click, click

Turn on the tap and the bile keeps coming

We will drown in the stuff long before it’s too late

And we are bored of the fireworks

We want to see the fire

We’re long past being careful

Of what we wish for
