The world itself consumed
Man that's the only truth
And what we loved was not enough
Even though we wanted to
I learned it sick in bed
Mining golden vapors
Regrets like charms laid end to end
And other sweet divinities
And this I learned and thus I gleaned
And what we loved was not enough
But kiss it quick and rise again
Kiss it quick and rise again
(The day has come when we no longer feel)
There'll be war in our cities
And riots at the mall
Blood on our doorsteps
And panics at the ball
All our cities gonna burn
All our bridges gonna snap
All our pennies gonna rot
Lightning roll across our tracks
All our children gonna die
All our children gonna die
All our children gonna die
Then the west will rise again
And then the west will rise again
So goodnight vain children
Tonight is yours, the lights are yours
If you'd just ask for more, then poverty and war
(The day has come when we no longer feel)
