lyrics

NEW YEAR'S EVE

It's the coldest night I can remember, late December
In the gloom trading kisses, trading wishes
Impending doom still looms above our heads

Distant echoes like gunfire
Pounding on the muck and the mire
Open my heart for a little something more
Dismiss the fears of the soul rubbed so sore
Of the soul rubbed so sore

It's New Year's Eve
And the lights are raining down everywhere
It's New Year's Eve
The lights are raining down everywhere

Race of ambitions has brought us here
We're done, my dear
Quest for growth that never ends
A wound that never mends
Consumes us both, what we loathe in a grander scale

Resistance is futile it seems to me
We have given up on dreams to see
Run for cover like you have never run before
The greed-driven thunder starts to roar
Starts to roar

It's New Year's Eve
And the lights are raining down everywhere
It's New Year's Eve
The lights are raining down everywhere

This may be the end my friend
On all we know bombs fall like snow
This may be the end my friend
On all we know bombs fall like snow

This may be the end my friend
On all we know bombs fall like snow
This may be the end my friend
On all we know bombs fall like snow

This may be the end my friend
