It started with a whisper, now it's all we hear Echoes of our follies, ringing loud and clear We built our towers high, but couldn't see the ground Lost in our ambition, where no truth was found And the skies, they darken with our dreams Silent warnings that no one heeds Oh, the world stops spinning on its own All because we played with matches that we had thrown Fires we started just to feel the power Look at us now, in our final hour Plastic seas and choking trees, did we think this through Every step in arrogance, ignoring what we knew From the depth of oceans to the outer space We claimed it all, left no trace And the earth, it trembles 'neath our feet A planet's heart too tired to beat Oh, the world stops spinning on its own All because we played with matches that we had thrown Fires we started just to feel the power Look at us now, in our final hour Could we rewrite the ending, if we start today Turn back the clock and find another way But it's a fantasy, as time slips away In whispers of what if and if only we may Oh, the world stops spinning on its own All because we played with matches that we had thrown Fires we started just to feel the power Look at us now, in our final hour Oh, the world stops spinning on its own All because we played with matches that we had thrown Fires we started just to feel the power Look at us now, in our final hour So here we stand, at the edge of time A requiem for our crimes Fading out, no more songs to play When the world stops, on out final day
