World Foregone Lyrics

Tick tock, the moving hands
Tell a tale we understand
Ever since the dawn of time
We've been working on the perfect crime

How long, how long
Can we go on, go on
It will be the end
Thus all we know
Will cease
And this world's foregone

Hired manpowers sent to war
Was this really what we came here for?
Harvesting forests will save the day
Eventually there will be hell to pay

Our time is nigh
If we keep on passing by
Save a breath for one last goodbye

How long, how long
Can we go on, go on
It will be the end
Thus all we know
Will cease
And this world's foregone

What to do when the seas are killed
By hunger, greed and waste
What to do when pollution
Fills every mouthful with distaste

Sad to see our way of life mirrored
And we still pretend
That the world we've used and drained
Will last until the end

We're out of time
Stand back and watch it burn

So long, so long
We can't go on, go on
This is the end of all we know
It's time, this world's foregone

(How long, how long)
So long, so long
(Can we go on, go on)
So wrong, so wrong

It will be the end of all we know
It's done, this world's foregone

(How long, how long)
(Can we go on, go on)
(It will be the end)
(Thus all we know)
(Will cease)
(This world's foregone)
