lyrics

in this your darkest hour
you watch the falling towers
you dream about
the days when you were young

you bridged dichotomies
drank poison like Socrates
smoked the same cigarettes as me
into your lungs

now you must start the fire
and bang the drums
some talk about tomorrow
but tomorrow never comes
now it’s day is done

like midnight you were melancholy
the morphine dripped into your dreams
you peered behind the wall
you built around yourself

oh time, what side are you on?
new world orders spawn
it’s lining up like ducks in a row

so don’t try and kill your pain
use it to wake up
they keep creating the future
though tomorrow never comes
and now this day is done

martyred for those old regrets
you packed your bags and went out west
you trampled on the graves
of those who stole so much

you’re still your mother’s child
you run like river’s wild
just trying to catch the comet
before it’s gone

your existence slips through the cracks
the great empire goes down with the sun
they say do it tomorrow
though tomorrow never comes
and now it’s day is done

the hands of power
change behind the cloak
down the road at bohemian grove
they’re building a world
where there is no death

I know you march to a different beat
you only believe in peace
it glimmers in the picture of what’s left

sing all those voices now
play loud the harp of love
you’ll never greet tomorrow
for tomorrow never comes
and now this day is done
now the day is done
