"Forsaken" lyrics

Forsaken

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

We lived our lives
In our paradise
As Gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines
We stayed behind
Though balance is something fragile

While we thought we were gaining
We turned back the time
It still slipped away
Our time has run out
Our future has died
There's no more escape

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
We're the last of our kind

The sacrifice
Was much too high
Our greed just made us all go blind
We try to hide
What we fear inside
Today is the end of tomorrow

As the sea started rising
The land that we conquered
Just washed away
Although we all have tried
To turn back the time
It was all in vain

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time any more
Life will pass us by
We are forsaken
Only ruins stay behind

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

Now the day has come
We are forsaken
There's no time any more

Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come
