The Last Dance Lyrics

Every step that we tread
The dead are behind us
Throwing shadows out over our heads
And they land far in front of us
No oceans left to cross
No mountains left to climb

Cause that's what I've been told
And it's got so hard

To look around
And see just who can save you
If you don't have a pot of gold

Was there ever a time like this?

As the noise of the past
Builds up into a crescendo

The layers of rubbish 
waste that accrue
Are amplified a million times or more
But our heads just can't cope
as we fall
Into the arms 
of the waiting mystics

Books burning barrels turning

A million wasted futures light up the night sky
Small hopes flash past and wave
While foreign forces wait and pray
And a fear of the future beats so deep in our hearts
That we'll all but destroy ourselves
Like the centuries-old feuds

Being upgraded with high-tech weapons

In the end it's not the future
But the past that'll get us
I always believed that ideas cost lives
That's why I was always in line
For the sacrifice
But now my eyes point ahead

Away from the ghosts of the dead
