  • In the misty morning, on the edge of time
    We've lost the rising sun, a final sign
    As the misty morning rolls away to die
    Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky

    We sailed across the air before we learned to fly
    We thought that it could never end
    We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run
    Now it seems our world has come undone

    Oh they say that it's over
    And it just had to be
    Ooh they say that it's over
    We're lost children of the sea, oh

    We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played
    Hiding in our corner of the world
    Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore
    Threw away the key and locked the door

    Oh they say that it's over, yeah
    And it just had to be
    Yes they say that it's over
    We're lost children of the sea

    In the misty morning, on the edge of time
    We've lost the rising sun, the final sign
    As the misty morning rolls away to die
    Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky

    Oh they say that it's over
    And it just had to be
    Oh they say that it's over
    Poor lost children of the sea, yeah

    Look out
    The sky is falling down
    Look out
    The world is spinning round and round and round
    Look out
    The sun is going black, black
    Look out
    It's never never never coming back
    Look out Writer/s: Michael Butler, Ronnie Dio, Tony Iommi, William Ward

  • William from Reno, NvDoes anybody know if this song could be about our work with nukes? It sounds like it could be about the human race going too far.
