Nightfall

I tried, I cried, then I looked around
Inside, outside, and within my mind
No meaning, no sense, no future I found
For me, for you, and for all of mankind.

[The Government, sweet talking]
"Minimal risks -- there's no need to get stressed
What could go wrong -- all of our science is on our side
Think of the returns, of a time of greater wealth
This is a chance absolutely we should not miss."

"All is absolute!
All is ah-... absolute.
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
and the emptier!"

Nobody knows what do with their lives
now that no hope is left into our hearts
Nowhere to go to get back what we've lost
There is no sanctuary for all of mankind

Outside the world seems to eagerly wait
Soon nature shall reclaim its domains
The sun keeps on shining though dusk is for man
Absolute Nightfall's approaching

[The Government, so sweet again]
"Total control on the weather outside
Eternal spring, and a summer without end
All of the energy we have a need for
A second sun is going to shine just for our sake!"

"All is absolute!
All is ah-... absolute.
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
and the emptier!"

All empty promises that we fell for
Even unlikely events do occur
All estimations then fall apart
Non zero means that will happen sometimes

The clock on the wall now reminds me of time
The time that was left, and then some little more
I used it to do, And I used it to be
To write down some poetry, or perhaps this song

"All is absolute!
All is ah-... absolute.
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
The bigger a man is
the fuller he is
and the emptier!"

Still human soul never cease to fight on
After the fall there might be Renaissance
Hope that those that will tread on this new earth
Shall learn the lesson that we left to them

In opposition were nature and man
No bigger mistake there can be than this
Cherish we will all the treasures we have
Part of that treasure we'll become ourselves

New men'll be born and inherit the earth
Meaning that they will be one with its lives
Greed and destruction no more for this man
After the Nightfall a new day shall rise

No more war and no more conflicts this time
Greed and destruction no more for this man
In this new time of a new Renaissance
I hope that Nightfall will never come back
