Hello, Apocalypse Lyrics & Tabs by The Deadly Gentlemen
Hello, Apocalypse
guitar chords lyrics
Believe it I did live it,
And the darker the day the dream the more vivid,
It really did somehow come to pass,
Bad things we did came back from the past,
Somewhere, somebody might have made it,
But that dream’s dying away faded,
The road’s afire the lava drips,
It’s goodbye to the good days,
Hello, apocalypse.
So many years go by in a haze of gray night,
For every day that I prayed, still no daylight.
It was hard to believe even the world kept to turn,
Back then with the way the woods all lit up and burned,
Down to the ground,
Down to black ash and gray sand,
Back then with the way the woods all lit up and burned,
Down to the ground,
Down to black ash and gray sand,
A wild tide of fire leaving a burned out wasteland,
Mile after mile,
All roamed by beasts sick and wicked and wild.
With no safe haven I made for the back drop,
Braving the gray rain and the red hot blacktop.
Meanwhile, deep down in a tunnel in the ground,
A rickety train car is rumbling around,
Back and forth, tenement to the factory,
Taking away the people and bringing them back to me,
Day in and day out, again and again,
They shudder and ache and wither in the wind,
But I don’t see how they remain,
Living and keeping on like it’s still the same,
When every day air gets hard to choke back,
Every breath of it comes straight from a smoke stack,
And the people all glower and shake,
And even the water is all sour and fake,
Good God, all powers of reason fail,
I live in oblivion, you took to the seas and sailed,
Great good God now the powers of reason fail,
I’m in a living oblivion you caught the breeze and sailed.
