Struggling with Doomsday? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Remember when Hell had frozen over? The cold still burns underneath my skin The water is rising all around me And there is nothing left I can give All these tears I've shed I saw the wildfire spread You said you cheated death But Heaven was in my head They say "the good die young" No use in saying "what is done is done" 'cause it's not enough And when the night gives way It's like a brand new doomsday What will be will be Every river flows into the sea, but it's never enough And when the night gives way It's like a brand new doomsday No matter what they say It's like a brand new doomsday The embers still glow when I'm sober The gold in the flame burns brighter now I have to rebuild, now it's over Maybe now I'm lost, I can live Souls don't break, they bend But I sometimes forget I have to do this for you And the only way out is through Yeah, death is an open door Words the prophets said Still swimming through my head Now there's no stars left in the sky 'Cause this well will never run dry What if I completely forget? What if I never accept? 'Cause when you fade away It's like a brand new doomsday Yeah They say "the good die young" No use in saying "what is done is done" 'cause it's not enough And when the night gives way It's like a brand new doomsday What will be will be Every river flows into the sea, but it's never enough And when the night gives way It's like a brand new doomsday No matter what they say It's like a brand new doomsday
