Not The Way It Was

(album: This Too Won't Pass - 2018)

Welcome to the end of time
I'm here to give you some peace of mind
Together we'll conquer, divided we'll fall
I'm here to tell you we've lost it all
Swallow your pride cause there is nothing left
Count all your blessings with each passing breath
Show them your weakness, the kingdom will fall
I'm here to tell them, you can't kill us all

This is it boys, this is war
Cause I can't take it anymore

Can we take an oath?
To never give up hope
We'll make it on our own

You and I
Walking through the night to find the light
So we, walk around this town like king and queen
Make a scene for anyone that sees
You and I
Watching on the news the world's abuse
So we don't believe no matter what they say
Can't escape, the evils here to stay

Money, power, god, and greed
Kill thy neighbor, your enemy
Together they conquered, divided us all
I'm here tell you, to break down the walls

This is it boys, guns up high
None of us get left behind

So who will tie the rope?
It's hard to do alone

You and I
Walking through the night to find the light
So we, walk around this town like king and queen
Make a scene for anyone that sees
You and I
Watching on the news the world's abuse
Keep on finding out it's not the way it was
Way it was, it's not the way it was
