The Last Light In The West

When the last light goes out in the west
and the east gives up in a flash of heat
in the darkness of a new dawn rising
we'll give the world to machines
the forest is calling
run into the trees
to find mother mercy
alive on her knees
with me
when all the light
from all the world
blocks the sun
and the world explodes
in the science show
end of all the things we longed to know
proof pride and power whitewash hope
we never really loved
and the silence comes on deafening
the end of all our beginnings
the reaping of the planted seed
the failure in our hearts
