The time has come to save our ruined land

Taking it for granted has led to this doom

Power and glory has played its wicked hand

Little hope we'll survive the catastrophic goom


Days and weeks and months and years

Roll until they slowly disappear

Every man woman and child will see

The death of the home of humanity


The road to hell lies dead ahead

It's too late now; we've been misled

The storm approaches from the west now


As we sail across the sea of time

We carry on; we don't look back

Still we march ahead, As The World Burns


Prophets and seers have warned for many years

Mankind will fall down to its knees

When the line is crossed it will be too late

To return to Eden and revel in its state


Clouds roll in from a distance

A sign of the darkness to come

Rays of light sneak through vapors

Determined to shine on the sacred ground


The road to hell lies dead ahead

It's too late now; we've been misled

The storm approaches from the west now


As we sail across the sea of time

We carry on; we don't look back

Still we march ahead, As The World Burns


Time will never end, hope is gone with hate

Fate is in our hands, but it is too late

Will we transcend, or fall into the well

A step we must take, for mankind's sake


The battle of all ages looms on the horizon

Nothing short of a miracle will stop it now

The rise and fall of Babylon

Should have warned us not to reach so high


Time will never end, hope is gone with hate

Fate is in our hands, but it is too late

Will we transcend, or fall into the well


The road to hell lies dead ahead

It's too late now; we've been misled

The storm approaches from the west now


As we sail across the sea of time

We carry on; we don't look back

Still we march ahead, As The World Burns
