The way it is, the way it was
The way it has always been
Refracted light, dead sea
Bells ain't chiming for victory
No more shadow, no more light
No more God on your side
When the dark comes falling from the sky
They're gonna have rough days
But memories will keep them moving
Distant cities burning
Dead trees are falling
No more hero in the shades
No more people in the graves
When the dark comes falling from the sky
The way it is, the way it was
The way it has always been
Refracted light, dead sea
Bells ain't chiming for victory
