lyrics

The colour of the sky when day turns into night is playing on my mind
Can’t help but asking why they must join the fight when they're so afraid to die
Tears fall from their eyes as soldiers pass them by but no one hears their cries
The bombs get their reply and there they lie

Atlas, where’d you go? ‘Cause the sky is falling down
It’s feeling much to close as they cower upon the ground
The sunset is chasing us now

Shouts and distant screams are carried on the breeze and there’s no kind of reprieve
Decimated dreams fall like ashen leaves and it’s such a sight to see
Gunfire in the streets and broken angels wings are scattered in the trees
‘Till our governments learn peace these wars won’t cease

Atlas, where’d you go? ‘Cause the sky is falling down
And it’s feeling much to close with our heads stuck in the ground
The sunset is chasing us

There’s a moment when the birds stop singing wind stops blowing
And the church bells ringing cease
Yet another lost generation died escaping
Then washed on out to sea

Atlas, where’d you go? ‘Cause the sky is falling down
And it’s feeling much to close as they fall down to the ground
The sunset

Oh Atlas, where’d you go? ‘Cause the sky is falling down
And it’s feeling much to close now they lie beneath the ground
The sunset is chasing us now
