I hear the drums they're fading fast
We live in days of future past
It's all in your mind

You stand outside the pearly gates
You pray to god that he awaits
A life so divine

You feel that you've been let astray
And this could be your darkest day
It's all very sad

You dream of Edgar Allen Poe
You fall into the hell below
It's all that you've had
That you've had

You never win, you never win
It's too late to save the world
You never win, you never win
It's too late to save the world
Too late to save the world

The tenements have fallen down
You're looking for some higher ground
You go slightly mad

But they will come in the disguise
It's time to open up your eyes
It's all very sad...Very sad
