Welcome to the world of the dead

Stripped of everything, humanity gone

Crowded together for slaughter

As up from above comes a cloud of lies and death

 

Doors shut, closing off our lives

Laughter echos from the void

Pain, such, pain wrenches hearts and chokes breath

This is the dance with death

 

Colors of the sickest shades fly everywhere

Tiny white blades scrape futily at stone

There is no escape, no escape from destiny

All light fades into darkness, darkness

 

A chorus rises from the ground

Screeching through the madness of the night

It shall be the last sound ever heard

Before all is taken into oblivion

 

Welcome to the world of the dead

 

 

 

Someday

By Stephen Schwartz

 

Someday, when we are wiser
When the world's older
When we have learned
I pray someday we may yet live

To live and let live

Someday, life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay
God speed this bright milleniumo on it's way,

Let it come someday

Someday our fight will be won, and
We'll stand in the sun

In that bright afternoon
'Til then, on days when the sun is gone,

We'll hang on
If we wish upon the moon

There are some days, dark and bitter
Seems we haven't got a prayer
But a prayer for something better
Is the one thing we all share

Someday, when we are wiser
When the whole world is older
When we have learned
And I pray someday we may yet live
To live and one day, someday
Someday life will be fairer
Need will be rarer
And greed will not pay

God speed this bright millenium
Let it come
If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday

Soon

I hear a baby crying
A sad sound, a loney sound
I want to take her in my arms
And then I dry away all her tears

I see a boy, who's frightened
A young boy, with old eyes
I long to say 'You're welcome here,
You can be happy now that you're warm'

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then you will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

Loud voices raised in anger
Speak harsh words, such cruel words
Why do they speak so selfishly
When we have got so much we can share?

So let your hearts be open
And reach out with all your love
There are no strangers now
They are our brothers now
And we are one

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

We're all a part of one world
We all can share the same dream
And if you just reach out to me
Then will find deep down inside
I'm just like you

I'm just like you
