The Lights Are Going Out
[Verse 1]
Brought upon a blessing or curse
The soldiers prevailed and have long dispersed
Far off echoes carry their weight
Hold to conviction but devoured the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard truths are seldom spoken

[Chorus]
The longer you breathe
The more that you'll fear
The lights are going out ’round here
Which way to turn
When obstacles hide?
The lights are going out inside
Once we could see
The warning were clear
The lights are going out 'round here
Why do we wait
When sealed is our fate?
The lights are going out too late
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, they're going out
They’re going out
They're going out

[Verse 2]
Vexed instead, the graceless emerge
The generals remembered but had been impaired
Cries of laughter hasten their fate
Told to be silent as the elders debate

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard truths are seldom spoken

[Chorus]
Prophets awoke
The message appeared
The light are going out 'round here
Which way to turn
When barriers guide?
The lights are going out inside
Once we could see
The warnings were clear
The lights are going out 'round here
Why do we wait
When sealed is our fate?
The lights are going out too late
[Post-Chorus]
They're going out
They're going out
They're going out
