This is the end

Joe crouch 1980 (Amarillo)



Asthe grey turns to black
And the wick has lost its flame
The sun has stopped shinning the moon is lost in space

As thesecities crumble
And these roads cave in
Life is no longer a highway
It is a fucking dead end

Lost are the virtues
Lost are the good menits a deserted landscape
Its the beginning of the end

Lets pray to jesus
Ohh god will save us
No one is coming
This is the end
This is the end im falling apart
This is the end
