Sky Falling Down

I can't believe what i'm seeing
please tell me that I am just dreaming
we're headed for somewhere
and it's too late to turn back
i smell the burning horizon
oil fires the world has been lighting
didn't think they'd do it
then the situation got away

and if there's hope let me see it
clouds of smoke won't let me believe it
the light of hope is obscured
by the hellfire on the ground
there is no safe place from the hatred
that makes men do what they're doing
i look on this broken world
the bloodstains on the ground

i try to hold on to a memory
before all the skies turned to scarlet
we're seeing the old ways scatter
like ashes on the ground
i feel the hot desperation
in hearts without any pity
never thought it'd come to this
then the sky came falling down
