Lyrics

If you knew tonight was your last Would you count your blessings Or would you count your cash? At daybreak the chosen ones take flight Avarice compels them In spite of what is right Godspeed to the ship of fools As they drift away to dreams of who they'll rule No remorse for the world they leave behind Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind Retribution's in the air tonight It's the last night on earth Take it for all that it's worth At dawn, they take off for the skies Faster than the speed of lies It's the last night on earth One will rise without eyes upon her Aradia her name A lady of true honor Bewitching like an avatar She's a ghost in the machine Hitching a ride to the stars Goodbye to the world she knew Avalon awaits if her vision is true They'll colonize under eyes of satellites Unless the renegade makes her sacrifice No refuge for the muse tonight It's the last night on earth Take it for all that it's worth At dawn, they take off for the skies Faster than the speed of lies It's the last night on earth Godspeed to the ship of fools As they drift away to dreams of who they'll rule No remorse for the world they leave behind Save one martyr for the fate of all mankind Retribution's in the air tonight It's the last night on earth Take it for all that it's worth At dawn, they take off for the skies Faster than the speed of lies It's the last, the last night, the last night Last night on earth
