Born to a Dying World

I heard the bells Tolling in the tower Under the ocean Where the old church used to be Ringing in the deep I was young O, but I remember The night the spire Sank 'neath the raging sea Lost to the waves And o, there in the swell Do I hear the passing bell? O Lord, I was born Born to a dying world Where the rivers run dry I was born Born to a dying world Where the oceans they rise I was born Now it is dawn O, but the light is failing Every day waning Til we've seen the last of the sun Morning never comes And o, is this farewell? Do I hear the passing bell? O Lord, I was born Born to a dying world With the forests ablaze I was born Born to a dying world Feels like the end of days I was born Ooh yeah, I was born Born to a dying world They say it's spring But here the skies are benighted There's no horizon The seasons they all seem the same No sunshine, no rain And I know As I stand in the roar of the breakers No one will save us Save us from ourselves And so rings the death knell --- Born to a Dying World - Green Lung
