[Verse] The sky's unraveling like an old silk thread The sun's too shy to rise from its bed Footsteps echo in a hollow street Where yesterday and today still meet [Chorus] It's now or never The clock won’t wait The edge of the world’s at heaven’s gate Harp strings pluck the end of time A banjo laughs But it don’t rhyme [Verse 2] The air tastes like dust Sweet and sharp Muted trumpets hum Their cries leave marks The ground hums low It’s a warning bell Each breath we take A whispered farewell [Prechorus] Hold on to me The wind’s gone wild The earth is breaking But I just smiled [Chorus] It’s now or never The curtain falls No use hiding behind these walls Harp strings pluck the end of time A banjo laughs But it don’t rhyme [Bridge] The stars lean down They’re watching too Banished gods What else can they do Brush drums tap like a heart that’s scared This is the end But we’re unprepared
