Take It To The Sun

We came from the western lands
Brightest and best of the sons of Eden
Selected by unknown hands
And bound by the will of the ones who lead them
Our homes and our families
Damned in the wake of the earth's destruction
We cherished the memories
And prayed for the souls of the ones
Who we left behind

You don't even know my name
But fate brought us round to the same conclusion
That we must take the blame
For how we bought into the great delusion

Now we know the price, we know the score
All of us here shall meet no more
And now the die is cast
The truth is clear to see

So hold on to everything that's real
For time can never heal
What's gone in one fantastic moment
Losing the will to survive
When no-one's left alive
Our destiny to end it the way it's begun
And take it to the sun

They promised a brave new world
But all we could find here was desolation
Deprived of the air to breathe
Stifled at birth the new human nation
So where can we go from here?
Wiping the sweat and the tears from my eyes
And steering a course for hell
Blinded by fear in the face of our own sacrifice

Hold on to everything that's real
For time can never heal
What's gone in one fantastic moment
Losing the will to survive
When no-one's left alive
Our destiny to end it the way it's begun
And take it to the sun

Hold on to everything that's real
For time can never heal
What's gone in one fantastic moment
Watching as all our bridges burn
And never to return
To the days of our lives as we've known them

Hold on to everything that's real
'Cause it was meant to be
The last ship of fools on the ocean
Losing the will to survive
When no-one's left alive
Our destiny to end it the way it's begun
And take it to the sun
