C#m
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

G#m                                            F# C#
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

Chorus:
B       F#            G#m
Oh they say that it's over,
And it just had to be
Ooh they say that it's over,
B           F#              B F# C#
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

Chorus

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

Chorus:
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!

G#m
Look out!
                    F# C#
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!
