Eve of Destruction

I hear it coming, not far away

Black moon is rising over the day

It’s not a whisper, it’s sounding clear

They’re here to get us, they’re coming near

Why don’t you listen, why don’t you run?

Shadows have risen over the sun.

And now it’s finally begun…

Chorus

Black bird’s fallen on the human race

It’s the eve of destruction, your life, flash on your face

Don’t try to get away now, gotta pay for your sins

Axe has fallen to clip off your wings.

Don’t do it man!

The crowd is turning, the world is burning

No word of wisdom through us at all

We were so selfish, so full of greed

We took the heavens for our own need

It’s much too late now, we must repent

It’s our own fate now, it’s heaven sent!

And now we’re licking the gun…ha!

Chorus

Fade: Black bird’s fallen, on human race

Eve of destruction, you drift on numbered days

Can’t get away now, in come the winds

The axe has fallen, can’t fly without wings

Chorus

And your life, flash on your face!
