lyrics
Intro
Leaving us alone
Leaving us alone
Leaving us alone
Leaving us alone
Verse 1:
The sun rose up just like every day
But something was different in every way
A chill in the air, a sense of dread
As if something terrible was up ahead
Chorus:
The day the world ended, we stood and wept
Everything we knew and loved, it was swept
Away in an instant, leaving us alone
On a barren land, we call our home
Verse 2:
The sky turned red, the ground shook
People screamed, their fear was hooked
Tsunamis crashed upon the shore
As we saw the world crumbling more and more
Chorus:
The day the world ended, we stood and wept
Everything we knew and loved, it was swept
Away in an instant, leaving us alone
On a barren land, we call our home
Bridge:
You held your hope
You saw your dreams
You Had your plans
We held our hopes
We saw our dreams
We had our plans
Chorus:
The day the world ended, we stood and wept
Everything we knew and loved, it was swept
Away in an instant, leaving us alone
On a barren land, we call our home
Outro:
Leaving us alone
Leaving us alone
Leaving us alone
