Blood on the ocean
There's a scar upon the world
And the population is falling
To the point of no return
What will I tell my children
What will I tell my God

What happened
To the world we knew
We could not read
The writing on the wall

Blood upon the ocean
Washing red onto the shore
Wash my hands in desperation
But they're stained for evermore
Your cry is growing fainter
I strain my ears
To hear your song

What happened
To the world we knew
We could not read
The writing on the wall

There burns a flame,
I'll hold it high
And shout your name
The people turn,
A change has just begun

What happened
To the world we knew
We could not read
The writing on the wall
