Then All The World Turned Grey

Something happened yesterday,
it wasn't pretty and it wasn't kind.
Felt like surrender to me
as if the universe had changed its mind.

The stars all went out.
The sun gave a smile
and then all the world turned grey.

I remember yesterday
and it's still living in my memory
The change was faster than I thought
the pace of progress or technology
Was I the only one to see
the new direction of humanity?
Was I the only one to see
the coming conquerer of Earth?

The stars all went out.
The sun gave a smile
and then all the world turned grey.

(solo)

The stars all went out.
The sun gave a smile
and then all the world turned grey.
Then all the world turned grey.

(repeat and fade)
