Hearts will break Empires fall The earth will quake In spite of it all I'll be here Smile on my face The end is near This beautiful place Is gone, gone, gone Thank you so much You know my name You say it so clear It’s all the same Year after year Heaven or hell Or nothing at all I’ll never tell You’ll just have to call You’re gone, gone, gone Thank you so much All the wonders of this world And you burn them up with your touch And all the timed money you spent Is gone, gone, gone Thank you so much

I stumble through the alley With the knife already drawn Some days you can feel the spirit move The words I still remember From the speech she never gave You’ll always have your lover’s need to prove I could smell the sweet temptation I could hear the whispers swell Some nights were made for broken chains In the early winds of autumn In the creaking of the swing I can feel it in my bones each time it rains I’ve lived through more regret Than I have ever shown But these are darker days Than I have ever known She’s the bringer of the blessings She’s the keeper of the crown But I can’t stop this pounding in my skull The years gone by, I can’t recall The faces I have seen A man can’t carve his mark with knives so dull She told me once she’d found it She’d send a signal flare And sometimes in the evening I’ll keep watch I count the breaths I waste The hidebound stars I’ve crossed The prisoner strains to draw his daily notch I’ve lived through more regret Than I have ever shown But these are darker days Than I have ever known

Post-Apocalyptic Country Song Ain’t this a funny place for a fellow like this to end up Skin and bones in the back of a broke-down pick-up truck With the world at his feet, but nothing left to eat Ain’t this a funny place for a fellow like this to end up As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong. And you’ve been too far gone for far too long Ain’t this a funny way for a country like this to die Too far above the rest to see the rising tide They used to call this the land of plenty, but now it seems the bread basket’s empty. Ain’t this a funny way for a country like this to die As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong. And you’ve been too far gone for far too long Ain’t this a funny way for a species like us to go Burning through the bodies of the creatures that came before Pumping ghosts from a smoke stack, we burned them, now they’re burning us back Ain’t this a funny way for a species like us to go As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong. And you’ve been too far gone for far too long
