The Rise and Fall
Ah ah
Here's a song
About living in the past
If it was so good then
How come it didn't last?
If it helps you
I'll put it in a phrase
Those were the times
But these are the days
These are the days x4
The times you're smiling back on
Had that great sitcom
It hardly compensated
For the terror of the bomb
Let me help
'Cause you're looking through a haze
Those were the times
These are the days
These are the days
Hey hey hey
These are the days
Can you hear me now?
These are the days
Look around look around look around
These are
Here's a song
About living in the past
If it was so good then
How come it didn't last?
If it helps you
I'll put it in a phrase
Those were the times
But these are the days
These are the days x4
The times you're smiling back on
Had that great sitcom
It hardly compensated
For the terror of the bomb
Let me help
'Cause you're looking through a haze
Those were the times
These are the days
These are the days
Hey hey hey
These are the days
Can you hear me now?
These are the days
Look around look around look around
These are
Millenium
Into precision
Into the light we fade
Into submission
We all hallucinate
Into the ground
We all dissipate
Into delusion
We all segregate
Amid all this confusion
We lose sight of the enemy
Like evil gods of destruction
They move through liquid transparency
Disposable heroes
Men of yesterday
Disposable heroes
Are never here to stay
Like gods of destruction
They seek to violate
Like machines of seduction
They will regenerate
The countdown to certain extinction
Will now transform reality
Slowly the universe grows dark
You slip into a final dream
Into the wavelength
Comes conspiracy
Into the wavelength
A planet never free
In through the future
Times grows weak
Into the future
The strong will inherit the weak
