As the sun turns black And the grass turns red Within this world Of pain and hate Salvation will come When it's too late
We focus on now, instead of then Even though we know, how and why it was We're doomed to repeat it All over again
So before this world Goes up in flames I ask you all To bring down this wall
The one that's built Of ignorance and hate In order to prevent Our miserable fate
The "THEN" in the 1st verse of the 2nd stanza can mean both THE FUTURE and THE PAST. In the 1st verse it means the FUTURE, but if it's combined with the 2nd verse it means the PAST The sun turning black = End of the World ( in this case humanity ) The grass turning red = From all the blood spilled during war ( which is the cause of verse 1 )
