When the world's on the brink of destruction
When the people are on the brink of devastation

When the fate is on the brink of deconstruction
How can I keep from singing?

If the people are already hurting
If the people are already suffering
If the people are already dying
How can I keep from singing?

When the lives are broken
When the foundation has fallen
When the gifts from hell has risen
How can I keep from singing?

If destiny is astray
If fate is cruel
If luck is unfaithful
How can I keep from singing?

When the past becomes forgotten
When the present becomes ignored
When the future becomes unknown
How can I keep from singing?
