lyrics

When seas rise to meet the mountain
And the heat becomes too great
Will we find a future fountain
Will we find it’s all too late

Will we still believe the liars
Who sold their souls to fuel the fires
Will we find our new horizon
What will we find is our fate

There’s a thundercloud coming
Getting darker, drawing near
And there's no place to go running
So we'd better face our fears

This world will burn
This world will freeze
This world will bring us to our knees
Cause there’s a thundercloud coming
And there's sure
There’s sure to be a storm

When seas rise to meet the mountain
And the heat tears you asunder
And there’s nothing but the deafening sound
Of crashing waves and thunder

But the will to live still fills you
With a burning, yearning hunger
Will we find our new horizon
Or will we all be sucked under

Will the earth still go on living
Will some animals survive
And will these species seize the planet
After we have long since died

Or will we drag this whole world with us
Like a ship that’s sinking fast
And although we know we’re drowning
We keep clinging to the mast

There’s a thundercloud coming
Getting darker, drawing near
And there's no place to go running
So we'd better face our fears

This world will freeze
This world will burn
Past the point of no return
'Cause there’s a thundercloud coming
And there's sure
There’s sure to be a storm

Oh let's go, us two together
Alone into the waves
To face this final great adventure
From which no one will be saved

We will make light all around us
Let there be no shadow cast
Only light from this bright burning boat
As we’re clinging to the mast
