As the two reunite and catch up, the newly arrived lover recounts their “Last Night on Earth,” explaining all the horrible sights and sounds and how at last a vision of their love finally changed their mind.
[Verse 1]
I saw people pray, I saw people fight
I saw the day turn to endless night
The rivers rose and it took its toll
Hope faded, I folded
Skyscrapers fallen to the ground
Children lost in the rubble and never found
[Chorus]
Last night on Earth
Last night on Earth
Don't look back
It was the last night
[Verse 2]
I saw a husband cradle his wife
I saw satellites fall from the sky
I felt the hope that I carried inside
Die
I saw power, corruption and fools
I saw wild dogs scavenging the schools
[Chorus]
Last night on Earth
Last night on Earth
Don't look back
Don't look back
It was the last night
[Verse 3]
While the charlatans sold water to the drowned
The lost instructed the found
But out there, I saw you surrounded by light
A fire of your spirit burning bright
I saw the glimmer of the hook
The last page of the book
Just a spark to catch my eye
And I knew I was on borrowed time
