Sunbathing At The End Of The Apocalypse

[Verse 1] Dust drifts over the plains we burned Ashen walls, with no lessons learned The sky hangs low in a copper stain Nothing takes root, with no cooling rain [Pre-Chorus] They praised their God and called it proof Built certainty on a rock under a roof We watched the horizon turn white Were too tired to argue, too dumb to fight [Chorus] So glad they were convinced they were right While the fields went silent beneath the burned sky Nothing to show but a sunless flame Nothing to grow and no one else to blame Our children won't pay the price They were never born into this life We lie on the salt where the warm winds cease Sunbathing at the end of the apocalypse [Verse 2] The grain silos all broken jagged teeth A black flag still flaps underneath The rivers forgot to take a different course The soil gives back nothing we took by force [Pre-Chorus] What good are crowns and polished creeds We couldn't be bothered to plant a seed When the last blue weather blew apart With no little hands to inherit the dark [Chorus] So glad they were convinced they were right While the fields went silent beneath the burned sky Nothing to show but a sunless flame Nothing to grow and no one else to blame Our children won't pay the price They were never born into this life We lie on the salt where the warm winds cease Sunbathing at the end of the apocalypse [Bridge] The wind whispers who made this place Tell it: a billion voices saving face And If the dawn arrives in golden light Tell it we slept until the final night [Final Chorus] So glad they were convinced they were right While the fields went silent beneath the burned sky Nothing to show but a sunless flame Nothing to grow and no one else to blame Our children won't pay the price They were never born into this life We lie on the salt where the warm winds cease Sunbathing at the end of the apocalypse [Outro] Too late to grow Too cool to know We'd die alone Sunbathing at the end (...the...) (the end...) (...the end of the apocalypse.)
