Black soil, black skies Ceaseless we multiply Black soil, black skies No rest till days turn nights What will your children think? Let them deal with the ramifications No end in sight No rest till days turn nights This lifetime is misery I see no meaning, I see only decay This lifetime is misery Give me the strength to see the end of the day I feel my time is getting shorter I'm down and torn Beat down and torn Don't let these words be left unspoken It's all I know Lessons of letting go No rest, no hope No end in sight Seems the days are getting shorter And nights last forever, last forever Slipping in and out of focus Tonight will last forever, last forever This lifetime is misery I see no meaning, I see only decay This lifetime is misery Give me the strength to see the end of the day I feel my time is getting shorter I'm down and torn Beat down and torn Don't let these words be left unspoken I'm down and torn Beat down and torn I feel my time is getting shorter It's all I know Lessons of letting go This is our time This is our moment Give me a fighting chance This is our time This is our moment Give me a fighting chance
