"World End Slowly" lyrics
Wait, no one knew the day was gone
Or that it would bring the starsong
Why is the dawn so long?
Waves crash upon the fallen sky
The sand and the wind are in my eyes
I still won't blink or cry
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
Wait, ashes wipe away what remains
When faced with this we're all the same
Save those who face away
So say, we are but an ancient throng
Children who stole the right from wrong
That's how we grow so strong
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
To choose a life without a friend
To fight against the certain end
Avert your eyes then
And live as kings with nothing left again
Wait, universe please wait
If only for a minute
I swear to live it
Without hesitance or shame
Weight, oh God I know the weight
But revel in burdens lifting late
I only bend, not break
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one last hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slowly, life
Is better lived with open eyes
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
Or that it would bring the starsong
Why is the dawn so long?
Waves crash upon the fallen sky
The sand and the wind are in my eyes
I still won't blink or cry
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
Wait, ashes wipe away what remains
When faced with this we're all the same
Save those who face away
So say, we are but an ancient throng
Children who stole the right from wrong
That's how we grow so strong
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
To choose a life without a friend
To fight against the certain end
Avert your eyes then
And live as kings with nothing left again
Wait, universe please wait
If only for a minute
I swear to live it
Without hesitance or shame
Weight, oh God I know the weight
But revel in burdens lifting late
I only bend, not break
I won't miss a single moment, I
Resolve these tired eyes
To witness the light
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one more hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying out
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slow
If this is the end
At least I'm with friends
Value the long goodbye
Ask of the stars, one last hurrah
This is who we are
If this is our time
Don't waste it crying
For something more
If life ends here then smile wide
I just hope the world ends slowly, life
Is better lived with open eyes
I just hope the world ends slow tonight
