OBLIVION See the brave new world of man We created with our hands Watch it slip away Like a tiny grain of sand Think of all the sweat and tears Think of all the wasted years Does it make you sad Just to think of all we had No more time for laughter No more time for sorrow No more morning after... 'Cause there's no tomorrow now We are standing on the edge of oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As it fades into the dawn On the final countdown to oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As the sacred fires burn In the end we all return... to oblivion Have we really come this far Just to watch it fall apart? Now we face defeat And it tastes so bittersweet Bow to the hand of fate Curse the gods but it's too late From dust to dust There is nothing left for us No more time for courage No more time for honor No more time for heroes This is Armageddon now We are standing on the edge of oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As it fades into the dawn On the final countdown to oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As the sacred fires burn In the end we all return... to oblivion How soon we'll know the power of prophecy As we approach the hour of destiny There's no way to stop the tide Nowhere to run and hide... from oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As it fades into the dawn On the final countdown to oblivion Say goodbye to Avalon As the sacred fires burn In the end we all return... to oblivion
