Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Denying the lying
A million children fighting
For lives in strife
For hope beyond the horizon
[Verse 2]
A dead world
A dark path
Not even crossroads to choose from
All the bloodred
Carpets before me
Behold this fair creation of God
[Verse 3]
My only wish to leave behind
All the days of the Earth
An everyday hell of my kingdom come
[Verse 4]
The first rock thrown again
Welcome to hell, little Saint
Mother Gaia in slaughter
Welcome to paradise, soldier
[Verse 5]
My first cry never ending
All life is to fear for life
You fool, you wanderer
You challenged the gods and lost
[Verse 6]
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
This world ain't ready for The Ark
[Verse 7]
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
Mankind works in mysterious ways
[Verse 8]
Welcome down to my Planet Hell
[Verse 9]
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
This world ain't ready for The Ark
[Verse 10]
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
Mankind works in mysterious ways
