Ode to a dying People

Yes shining bright with unspilt tears, 
Thinking about all these wasted years. 
Everything worth living for is gone, 
Brother, i find it hard to keep fighting on. 
Falling down towards the abyss, 
The reaper embraces me with his kiss; 
It makes me want to refuse to care, 
To watch this all unfold - too much to bear. 

If this is the way it ends - 
If this is the way my race ends . . . 
If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness 

Disease encroaching on all i hold dear, 
Somehow i gotta get my soul outta here. 
Heart of agony, faint burning hope, 
I'm finding it hard to try to cope . . . 

Because liars own the world with conquering poise, 
In a wasteland of meaningless noise; 
We don't stand a chance with dormant pride, 
The heroes of our race have already died . . . 

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends. . . 
If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . . 

To imagine it has all come down to this, 
Apathy and suicidal bliss . . . 

It's all over except for the cryin', 
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion . . . 

The greatest race to ever walk the earth, 
Dying a slow death with insane mirth, 
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed, 
White man, fight the flight towards the grave . . . 

If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends . . . 
If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . . 
If this is the way it ends - if this is the way my race ends . . . 
If this is the way it ends - i can't bear to witness . . . 

Don't let it end this way, 
Don't let it end this way, 
Don't let it end this way, i can't bear to witness . . .
