Red lights flashing, test of time
World is headed for steep decline
Truth reluctant to define
One for each and every kind
Digging dirt and wiping clean
Fairy tales and all they mean
Swaying towers cast their shades
The marching spirit bows and fades
Oh why
Who will save us now, oh why
Oh my
When we turn the tide and look back
Oh we cry
Oh goodbye
Red lights flashing all the time
Blind reluctance to hope that shines
Falling back on history
Losing track of what we read
One for none and none for all
Beg for pride and win them all
There is time for a last parade
Marching straight into the shade
Oh why
Who will save us now, oh why
Oh my
When we turn the tide and look back
Oh we cry
Oh goodbye
Oh we cry
Oh goodbye
