We are running, always running The ground beneath us is crumbling Everything around us turning to dust The wind is fire on our backs We're running out of time The disaster we bred catching us Claiming and destroying us That road really is paved With the very best of intentions But the walls are lined with the worst. The past was ours to claim Shaping a future we can't escape Cancerous and corrosive, This was all our doing We never dreamed of a present so dark When our past was so warm and bright. Funny thing about fate and chance We never do realize what the cost will be What it could be How much it will bring us down Into the flames of a new world order This is our catastrophy.

New World Order
We are running, always running The ground beneath us is crumbling Everything around us turning to dust The wind is fire on our backs We're running out of time The disaster we bred catching us Claiming and destroying us That road really is paved With the very best of intentions But the walls are lined with the worst. The past was ours to claim Shaping a future we can't escape Cancerous and corrosive, This was all our doing We never dreamed of a present so dark When our past was so warm and bright. Funny thing about fate and chance We never do realize what the cost will be What it could be How much it will bring us down Into the flames of a new world order This is our catastrophy.
