After the end when he
tells her he loves her
She promises not to let
go They hold on to hope
It all begins with the end
Everything started within
One or two seconds of a siren
Sounding over city limits
singing Wind over water
whipping A hurricane
head long lifting A
tidal wave inland
tipping Was the
final early warning and
After the end when he
tells her he loves her
She promises not to let
go They hold on to hope
Before the ending
began Bottom lines
and broken budgets
Dead ends All
the early signs
are in the writing
Catastrophic changes
in the offing
Radical callers kept
lines tied up at
radio stations
Argument or
conversation
Cut quick to
commercial nation
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Welcome to the
dawning of a new age

President is
speaking at the U.N.
Preaching of the
promise of our progress
Atomic piece of mind
from a radioactive
life line Millennia
in the making
utopiannihilation
and After the end when he
tells her he loves her
She promises not to let
go They hold on to hope
