The Sky Is Falling

(album: RWBY, Vol. 8 - 2021)

Here comes another nightmare, another fever dream
The horror just won't stop; an endless scream
But this is not subconscious, we're not imagining
We're wide awake, this is reality

Our world's lost without a soul
We're losing all control, not getting closer
Every day is just another dose of torture (Torture)
Now we pay the cost, the race is lost, this nightmare's our real life

Better cover up your eyes, my friend, the sky is falling
Can't outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared, we're near the end, the final days are calling
Hold on now
The sky is falling down

A curse that's never-ending, a path with no escape
No sudden death, we're trapped in slow decay
These words are not symbolic, the torment's all too real
Eternal enemy, our fate is sealed

We slide, further down the hole, the damage takes its toll
Helpless and broken
Failed to stem the tide of pain, the floodgates open (Open)
Now it's one more sin as evil wins and misery seals our lives

Better cover up your eyes, my friend, the sky is falling
Can't outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared, we're near the end, the final days are calling
Hold on now
The sky is falling down

Lost all my hopes and dreams
Watch my life flash by in scenes, and it seems
There's no soul on the video screen
But I'm green trying to figure out what all of it means
Staring at the casket, hoping to move past it
Knowing things will never be the same, and that's it
Cold soaked as I'm standing in rain
Feeling nothing but pain until I see you again
Feel the waves crash loud and hard
Oh god, lost control, I think I'm gonna lose it
All my sanity's slipping away
Oh lord, press record, I'd die without the music
Each breath is closer to my death
Except that which is this life, there's none left
Let my demons live on through my legacy
Study my pedigree, I need therapy

Better cover up your eyes, my friend, the sky is falling
Can't outrun the ruin of our lives
Be prepared, we're near the end, the final days are calling
Hold on now
The sky is falling down
