Вступление
[Verse 1]
Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,
Thinking about all these wasted years.
Everything worth living for is gone,
Brother, I find it hard to keep fighting on.
Falling down towards the abyss,(the abyss)
The reaper embraces me with his kiss;
It makes me want to refuse to care, (refuse to care)
To watch this all unfold - too much to bear.
[Chorus]
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
[Verse 2]
Disease encroaching on all I hold dear
Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here
Heart of agony, faint burning hope
I'm finding it hard to try to cope
The cause liars own the world with conquering poise, conquering poise
In a wasteland of meaningless noise
We don't stand a chance with the dormant pride, with the dormant pride
The heroes of our race have already died
[Chorus]
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
[Verse 3]
To imagine it has all come down to this
Apathy and suicidal bliss
It's all over except for the cryin'
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion
The greatest race to ever walk the earth, walk the earth
Dying a slow death with insane mirth
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed, our race betrayed
White man, fight the flight towards the grave
[Chorus]
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
If this is the way it ends - If this is the way my race ends...
If this is the way it ends - I can't bear to witness
[Outro]
Don’t let it end this way, don’t let it end this way
Don’t let it end this way, I can’t bare to witness
