Saga [Sweden] - Ode To A Dying People

Yes 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 reaper embraces me with his kiss; It makes me want to refuse to care, To watch this all unfold - too much to bear. 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 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 . . . Because liars own the world with conquering poise, In a wasteland of meaningless noise; We don't stand a chance with dormant pride, The heroes of our race have already died . . . 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 . . . 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, Dying a slow death with insane mirth, The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed, White man, fight the flight towards the grave . . . 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 . . . Don't let it end this way, Don't let it end this way, Don't let it end this way, i can't bear to witness . . .
