It's Not Too Late

Lyrics

The wind turns like a dagger

The rain falls like a hammer

The sky has grown dark

But it's not too late

The weather crashes down

What's lost cannot be found

The night is closing

But it's not too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

The atmosphere is lethal

But I will fear no evil

The ocean rolls like thunder

The tempest pulls us under

The dogs are howling

But it's not too late

As broken structures rust

False idols turn to dust

All lies in ashes

And it's not too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

The atmosphere is lethal

But I will fear no evil

In the dark before the dawn

The echo of the siren song

Dies away like a ghost

As the day breaks

It's not too late, it's not too late

It's not too late, it's not too late

The atmosphere is lethal

But I will fear no evil
