lyrics
Children of the sun
The Earth is weeping blood
Destruction is the calm before the flood
Turn your head away
From the pain that we create
Someone else is bound to lead the way
We're running out of time
To change the energy over
We're burning out of line
Soon the sea's taking over
Judgement day is drawing near
The point of no return
A handful of years until
The point of no return
We're clinging to the edge of no return
The point of no return
Deniers move aside
You're wasting precious time
We can't afford to beat around the bush
Poison in the air
Refuse in the ground
Melting out the grave in which we'll drown
We have the power to turn this ship around
Unite the world until the promised land is found
Judgement day is drawing near
The point of no return
A handful of years until
The point of no return
We're getting to the point of no return
Oh, we're clinging to the edge of no return
The point of no return
Judgement day is drawing near
The point of no return
A handful of years until
The point of no return
We're clinging to the edge of no return
The point of no return, no return
We're getting to the point of no return
Oh, we’re clinging to the edge of no return
The point of no return
