Lights Are Going Out

The city lights are going out
But everyone is awake
The clouds above are hiding what
We’re waiting for

There is a child she stands alone
She’s gazing up at the sky
She says the thing you call democracy
Was just a lie

We’re all informed
What we could change
To leave a world that still makes sense
Instead we choose to die of ignorance

The marching sound across the street
It trembles over this land
With naked feet on broken glass
She makes a stand

And the fire rains around her head
She’s staring into the end
The thing we called humanity
Is finally dead

When the city lights are going out
And when it comes to and end
By broken dreams, by fucked up teens
Of ignorance

When the last of us will disappear
Like shadows into the night
The broken ones, the fighting sons
Of ignorance

They are rolling in with waving guns
With medals pinned to their chest
They talk about a greater cause
Like all the rest

And I see a man with shiny boots
His vision given by God
And like a dog, you lick his hand
Just like he planned

We’re all informed
What we could change
To leave a world that still makes sense
Instead we choose to die of ignorance

When the city lights are going out
And when it comes to an end
By broken dreams, fucked up teens
Of ignorance

When the last of us will disappear
Like shadows into the night
The broken ones, the fighting sons
Of ignorance

Does anyone even care why we’re fighting?
While we blame it all on everybody else
Does anyone even care why we’re fighting?
While we blame it all on everybody else

When the city lights are going out
And when it comes to an end
By broken dreams, by fucked up teens
Of ignorance

‘Cause we’ll cut our roots like fallen trees
Like crumbled leaves in the wind
When lights are going out
In the end
