about

Written By Mark Mandeville

lyrics

There ain’t no easy answers and the questions are but castles made of sand
And how far from the line dividing sides have we become
When the tide came in, were you alone again
Standing there surrounded by the sea

There ain’t no use in cryin when the trouble ain’t so clear
And the wolves are buying rounds for the whole town
And no one knows any different
Someone screamed fire so many times, the heroes all retired
Is this how friends become such enemies

CHORUS:
Is it the end of days
Is it the dark ages
Are we moments away from a war
Noone even knows what they are fighting for
Noone even knows any more

There ain’t no exit signs on the road to paradise
And the well worn path of sin is marked too well
You just follow directions
And where the footprints end, were you alone again
Standing there surrounded by the trees

CHORUS:
Is it the end of days
Is it the dark ages
Are we moments away from a war
Noone even knows what they are fighting for
Noone even knows any more
Noone even knows what they are fighting for
Noone even knows any more
