Martin Orford - Take It To The Sun lyrics

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 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 on to everything that's real '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
