Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There was life here once The tension, the harshness of life, Lost in the flow of time Now comes crumbling down The land will be covered in darkness Premonitions of sorrow and anger, even so Things rush on, fleeing, changing, Never facing it, straight on To all things under creation... Never facing it, straight on Day the Earth Caught Fire People wander aimlessly The great spring of life runs dry Come face to face with a world of darkness Now comes crumbling down The land will be covered in darkness
