Arctic Rose - Endlings Lyrics

So here we are, the last remains of human race
Though soon enough we'll join those we left behind
There's none to blame but us, we stood by, fed the fire
All that mankind strove for was burnt to a crisp

In the darkest night even a candle shines so bright
Living underground, we'll never see sunlight
All we have are stories of the world we used to love
From the days when homes had stars above

We faced the world our ancestors once had to roam
In all its beauty it proved unfit for us
And all the time we wasted searching for a cure
We could've spent grasping the time we had left

Will the ones I loved remember me the way I was?
They'll remember what I did, but not its cause
My entire life I waited for the night to fade
Should've known the sun was too afraid

We followed Alice deep in the rabbit hole
We let our guard down, let them in
I can't go back now, facing a dead end
And it's the end of time, end of my life

Light a lantern, light another, bask in the light
As the dying flame whispers "your time's finite"
It's a shame our story had to end the way it did
While the pawns were killed, the kings just hid

May the ones who still have time take heed of these words
When you're building, do not build a house of cards
And the monsters under your bed are no longer there
Now they can't save you from your nightmare
