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

Doug Davis - Darker Days

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
