When The Stars Are Gone (Live at the Royal Festival Hall)

I'm not gonna save you

All I can do is just keep singing

While the ship is sinking

And all around us drowning and burning

The creatures of the earth are dying

Empty skies with no birds flying

Graves are desecrated

The only sound my heartbeat dying

When the stars are gone

Who will sing our song?

When the stars are gone

Who will sing our song?

I'm going colourblind

With only a void inside

Under the cosmic clouds

Now omnipresent shrouds

I see inside your soul

Grey ashes and burnt gold

When the stars are gone (Love's an apocalypse)

Who will sing our song? (Love's an apocalypse)

When the stars are gone (Love's an apocalypse)

Who will sing our song? (Love's an apocalypse)

As we close our eyes

To blood-thick violent skies

Will we realise

As all of nature dies?

A wolf moon up on high

Dark omens prophesied

For love's an apocalypse

That devastates our lives

Under a blood red sky

Under the moon at night

We'll sing of love long lost

We'll sing of winter frost
