[Verse 1] When we look into the past We ought to know it cannot last All the kingdoms and all the nations Here so quick and gone so fast You think you'll last forever but forever's only fifty years With all the riches you collect ending up on your brother's mantle Yeah On your brother's mantle Yeah [Chorus] Could it be everything we wanted Or maybe just nothing at all Could it be the end of the world as we know it Or just smoke before the fall Could it be everything and nothing All we see is the anger and the rage Could it be the end of the world as we know it Or just the end of an age [Verse 2] Our leaders think they're so important Yet they are just the fools I feel a spirit is at work here And we are just the tools So I hold on to my faith in a world lost to devices We're all lost within our vice We hurt ourselves and we blame each other Yeah Why do we blame each other Yeah [Chorus] Could it be everything we wanted Or maybe just nothing at all Could it be the end of the world as we know it Or just smoke before the fall Could it be everything and nothing All we see is the anger and the rage Could it be the end of the world as we know it Or just the end of an age [Bridge] Take me to the open roads where I can clear my head Take me down those fields of fear I filed in my nightmares I'm deep in the water I'm deep in the water Hey I'm deep in the water Hey I'm deep in the water Hey I'm deep in the water Hey [Chorus] Could it be everything we wanted All we see is the anger and the rage Could it be the end of the world as we know it Or just the end of an age
