Buildings burning, blazing in the night
Searchlight sweeping, lazer beams of light
Desolation, smoke has filled the sky
Siren wailing, who can hear my cry?
So the darkness leaves me never
And the grinding wheels are turning ever
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I was young I was the golden son,
People said I was the chosen one
And I knew I must walk like a man
Never fail, and do the best I can
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
When I see that light come shining
When I feel the sacred spirit rising
I believe that God is love, and that's enough
To keep the evil demon away
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, you're the most important call that I make
When I face that verdict today
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,' I'll say it's really not
The End of the World
I believe that God is love, and that's enough (I believe that God is love)
Don't say I don't matter at all I will stand or I'll fall, (I will stand or I'll fall)
When I face that verdict today (It's really not the End of the World)
'Though it's Auto-da-Fé,'
End of the World
End of the World
It's really not the End of the World
End of the World
