At Last

Lyrics: Look outside, look outside! Break away from where you lie / Break the windows to get outside When the moon is soaring and the stars align Carry your hopes to the end of the night Ocean waves breaking and crashing away with a roar Gently reflecting the fall of the sun Crushing and bursting and carving away at the shore Drinking the flames that they cannot outrun Listen to the last bit of hope disappear Watch the people falling down, shaking with fear Closing their hearts to the sense of the sign Pointing out the turning of the grinding gears Measuring the river as it rises near While you were sleeping we ran out of time Break away from where you lie / Break the windows to get outside When the moon is soaring and the stars align Carry your hopes to the end of the night Grasp at the seams as time slowly unravels This threadbare creation, so tired and worn All that they cling to is ashes and dust as the Old falls away so the new can be born "Not yet," they say, "Not yet!" they say Give us more time to kill and to play A thousand years longer to ruin ourselves Long have we wandered in the winding way Long have we waited for the judgment day Longing to hear the archangel descend Break away from where you lie / Break the windows to get outside When the moon is soaring and the stars align Carry your hopes to the end of the night Raise your head to watch the sky / Raise your voice to join the cry When all our hopes give way to sight / Now redemption has arrived This is the end / That all must face It's the end / Hear them scream and curse the day It's the end / At last it's drawing near It's the end / Cast aside the voice of fear Now we sing in harmony / Our Lord the Judge shall come How we long to bend the knee / And hail the reigning Son Look outside, look out! Break away from where you lie / Break the windows to get outside Watch the dark give way to light / Every promise satisfied
