These days are rare my friend
And memories fade with every turning page
Things are moving fast now
The old guard's gone and the watchtower fallen
So strike the steel
Pull up a chair right there
I cannot see this alone
The final days of Rome in the light of the fire
Our eyes like gemstones
And years from now they'll be stepping out of the photographs
Years from now they'll be walking elysium
Faces of angels
Oh the tales they'll tell of how when mankind became unkind
How they said so at the time as they fell for the people of the future
The people of the future have learned nothing at all
For the people of the future
The people of the future have learned nothing at all
Close my eyes and say a prayer for tomorrow
Just close my eyes and say a prayer for tomorrow
Throw every book you've read onto the fire
Every book you've read onto the fire
For tomorrow
