The shadow falls over The golden fields of summer As the darkness grows A winter chill descends on City streets and country Like the cold ice and snow The end of everything is gone From dusk to dawn these Are dark lonely days A sickness in the air Brings on the wind of malady The stricken cry Infected locked away from Lovers, friends, and family All alone to die The end of everything we had The good and bad will Sadly slip away, now are gone Will the world return again To what we had then There’s no one to say Stay away, you can’t come out to play Keep away, or you may die today The plague upon us comes without a trace There is no rescue from its cold embrace Down at the morgue, they have run out of space Is this the end of the human race Doctors and presidents who do you trust While you were sleeping, a thousand lives lost The world is under a blanket of dust Turning into rust The end of everything we had The good and bad will Sadly slip away, now are gone Will the world return again To what we had then There’s no one to say Sadly, slip away Sadly, slip away
