How It Ends

Is this how it ends? Until only one song remains Is this how language dies? One tongue at a time Is this the noose? Waiting at the gallows end Necks will crack To the anthem of this world Is this how it ends? No more myths To hand from word to mouth Is this how it ends? No protest songs No voices in dissent How did you feel When they When they called your name? And you stood in line For the For the last time Only one song remains And the words are the same The anthem of this modern world See the world goes up in flames See this world go up in flames Could it be the final Chapter Before they burn the books? As we pass into The long night Long night of the soul Is this how it ends? Until only one song remains Who dares To sing Out of tune And rewrite the refrain And live out of time We must sing The song of these people It's of A deep Unyielding pain And we Must sing Sing our pain Of pain Of pain We Must sing
