Wesley Smuts - Praelūdium (Preludes) lyrics

Press your hands to your eyes and watch the stars collide Then open them and witness the real thing In the sky tonight, we watch the worlds in flight This was always coming Blackened clouds envelop the sky From now on, perpetual night Can't help but feel more alive than I've felt for years All our actions have brought this on And no remorse can reverse this storm Everything that mattered yesterday is lost in the ash Will all our purposes be fulfilled if tonight the world ends? Or was there ever any purpose anyway? (Anyway) We all say goodbye, stand and face the red growing wave And we all pray, we all pray and make our minds up At the peak of our lives, we seldom stop to say Thank you for the Universe For the balance and the calm that we've all tried So hard to destroy Will all our purposes be fulfilled if tonight the world ends? Or was there ever any purpose anyway? (Anyway) We all say goodbye, stand and face the red growing wave And we all pray, we all pray and face the consequences It's started We will all step into the darkness together This darkness thrust upon us Today will be the last day Tonight, the last night This is the end Our time has come Where will you be when it all comes down? As the ground takes flight, and you replay your life Will you have made amends? How will you take your last breath, sweet or despairing? And how will you greet the face of d**h when your soul leaves your body?
