lyrics

When the night falls
My mind begins to race
Back to those times of joy
They seems so far away
Now it seems as though
This world has lost its way
Please let me find the strength
To make it through this day

Like scenes from a novel
No hope for tomorrow
This carousel goes round and round
There is no getting off

Now the lunatics are running all our lives
Moving backwards..We use to be so wise
Its like we closed our eyes to all that we have done
We've given all the fools a fully loaded gun

Like scenes from a novel
No hope for tomorrow
This carousel goes round and round
There is no getting off

When ..When will it end
When will this madness go away
Now..Now i can see
We shut the door on whats to be
Hope..Hope is a word
That our children find obsurd
Run..Run for the door
There's nothing here to see no more

Like scenes from a novel
No hope for tomorrow
This carousel goes round and round
There is no getting off

Is this how it ends?
The future in distress
No hope for mankind
Kiss this world goodbye
