GOODBYE AMERICA

GOODBYE AMERICA

And now it all falls apart
The echoes of history
now haunting our consciousness
walk down the hallway
of torpor and fear

Like ghosts of past egos
wrapped in a mystery
that whisper in empty rooms
and laugh at our boasting
ensconced in our fear

Yes, welcome to sliding
down into your grave
at a pace that is frightening
Your nation is passing
and no one can save

So swiftly collapsing
It's all falling down
The wheel of man's destiny
long hidden from our view
is now coming round

This breath of disaster
The song of demise
ignores our grim objections
rejects our shrill pleas
and laughs at our lies

And we will embrace her
this cult of despair
The corpse of our arrogance
long kissing denial
is no longer there
