[These lyrics are for the song, as sung by Saga]
Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears
Thinking about all those wasted years,
When everything worth living for is gone,
And, 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
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
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
And the cause liars own the world with a conquering poise, conquering poise
A wasteland of meaningless noise
We don’t stand a chance with a dormant pride, with a 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
If this is the way it ends, if this is the way my race ends
If this is the way it ends, oh, I can’t bear to witness
[music break]
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
And the greatest race to ever walk the earth, walk the earth
Dying a slow death with insane mirth
The tomb has been prepared, a race betrayed, a 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, oh, 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, oh, 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, oh, 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
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
If this is the way it ends, if this is the way my race ends
If this is the way it ends, oh, 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, oh, I can’t bear to witness
