The old downtown in black iron gates
A demonstration man, the stacked electric plank
The women were in robes, the crowd against the guns
A life like freeze in a gaslight fire

Advancing lines, we're casting shadows
Did any of us know what it was?
The rings around our bodies glowing red

Everyone knows in paradise
The fortunate ones are saved
Fall in line, take your place
The [Incomprehensible] darling trembling

Everyone knows in paradise
The fortunate ones are saved
We're given this chance to say goodbye
One more time, one last time

Did you hear about the writing on the wall?
It says we can win, you gotta believe, that's all
But you know in the end they're only gonna take it away from you
Because of a bomb, because of a gun

Oh no, have I run out of luck this time?
Have I run out of luck this time?
Have I run out of luck this time?

Did you see the writing on the wall?
I wanna believe, I gotta be calm that's all
Because in the end they're only gonna take it away from you
Because of the crash, because of the fall
