Sure as hell we never saw it coming
A tide of fire swept over all we knew
In the crimson glow of the evening
Stairs of armageddon await

Are these the firey steps to adulthood?
When everything falls around you?
No matter how we marched on forevermore
We gained nothing, we gained nothing
Hopeless, merciless, hopeless, life is

It will all burn now
All vaporize now
It will all fade out
And none of us couldn't help it
None of us, none of us, none of us
Hopeless, merciless, hopeless, life is
