[pianissimo leading to a crescendo] [verse] Suitcase in hand, you leave town, in the early evening Have one last look, cause you won’t be coming back You’ve seen them leave, say farewell, to the life they’ve known And now it’s your turn to wave goodbye You smell the smoke, in the air, as you walk the alley You see your past, and it’s burning in your eyes You can’t accept, the cruel fact, that it finally happened That you live to see the end of days Oh [pre-chorus] The sun’s behind the dust, the trees were dying No rays of light that play upon your skin The days are dark and cold, and there’s no after The writing’s on the wall [chorus] This is your last day on earth Your last day on earth This is your last day on earth Your last day on earth Tears in your eye, hope in the sky Flying so high, waving goodbye Can you believe it is your last day on this earth [verse] You take the train, to the port, where the crowds are waiting Just a short while, and they’ll send you to the sky You can’t return, there is no, point in even trying You look into the dark and see the stars You pass the rings, of the earth, no more moon is rising What once was blue, now is grey and out of life You turn around, out of sight, still in fading distance Lies your faith and future for a while Oh [pre-chorus] Another life, another distant planet (Oh oh oh oh oh) The whispers of a long forgotten past The chances of this endless new horizon The promises of Mars [chorus] This was your last day on earth Your last day on earth This was your last day on earth Your last day on earth Tears in your eye, hope in the sky Flying so high, waving goodbye Can you believe it was your last day on this earth So far away, see a new day Starting today, what do you say Can you believe That was the last day (last day) Last day on Earth Mmm mmm mmm
