lyrics

We're in a bad place,
Been here for decades,
Where our history replays.
Count in battle scars,
Keep time with broken hearts,
But there's nothing we can save.

Oh, what a cold night,
It was a cold night.
We live in dark times,
We live in dark times.

Stains from the last fight,
Pray it's the last fight.
Caught in a landslide,
Caught in a landslide.

And I see spiders at night,
Fairytales and knives.
Teenagers desensitised,
And an old man wants old lie.

And it's an awful world,
That's spinning.
And it's an awful world,
We live in.

It's on the TV,
Like seeing film scenes,
It's a harsh reality.
Amatuer video,
But we all lost control,
And the end justifies the means

Oh, what a cold night,
It was a cold night.
We live in dark times,
We live in dark times.

Stains from the last fight,
Pray it's the last fight.
Caught in a landslide,
Caught in a landslide.

And I see spiders at night,
Fairytales and knives.
Teenagers that won't survive,
And an old man, oh, what a troubled mind.

And an awful world,
Is spinning.
And it's an awful world,
We live in.

Oh, stay, don't leave me this way,
'Cause I'm so lost, oh.
And pray that things might change,
At any cost.

Oh, what a cold night,
A cold night.
Living in dark times.
Dark times.

Stains from the last fight
The last fight
Caught in a landslide.

And I see spiders at night,
Fairytales and knives.
Teenagers look terrified,
An old man sees an old light.

Oh and bad men are glorified,
But you see the shame in their eyes.
Welcome to the New Age: cherry pie,
Celebrities and homicide.

And it's an awful world,
That's spinning.
And it's an awful world,
We live in.

And in an the awful world,
I'm sinnin'.
'Cause it's an awful world,
That I live in.

Oh, stay, don't leave me this way,
When hope has gone.
And fate decides this game,
And we have lost.

Oh-oh, woah-oh.
