Last Night on Earth

If you knew tonight was your last
Would you count your blessings
Or would you count your cash?

At daybreak the chosen ones take flight
Avarice compels them
In spite of what is right

Godspeed to the ship of fools
As they drift away to dreams of who they’ll rule

No remorse for the world they leave behind
Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind
Retribution’s in the air tonight

It’s the last night on earth
Take it for all that it’s worth
At dawn, they take off for the skies
Faster than the speed of lies
It's the last night on earth

One will rise without eyes upon her
Aradia her name
A lady of true honor

Bewitching like an avatar
She’s a ghost in the machine
Hitching a ride to the stars

Goodbye to the world she knew
Avalon awaits if her vision is true

They’ll colonize under eyes of satellites
Unless the renegade makes her sacrifice
No refuge for the muse tonight

It’s the last night on earth
Take it for all that it’s worth
At dawn, they take off for the skies
Faster than the speed of lies
It's the last night on earth

Godspeed to the ship of fools
As they drift away to dreams of who they’ll rule

No remorse for the world they leave behind
Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind
Retribution’s in the air tonight

It’s the last night on earth
Take it for all that it’s worth
At dawn, they take off for the skies
Faster than the speed of lies
It's the last, the last night, the last night
Last night on earth
