October Armageddon by Ian Carlton

lyrics

Stand blinking in the orange sunlight
Under ash that clogs the sky
In this city silent as the grave
Not so far from where flames rise
And each passing car moves languidly
With its windows tightly closed
It’s the fate of California
Fall of a land where once it rose

But I welcome the October armageddon
It’s the best of times (it’s the best of times) it’s the end of days (it’s the end of days)
And I watch the world around me as it all goes up in smoke
Where have we come from? Where will we go?

I wander on the streets at night
Beneath a hazy, starless sky
Past denizens of shadows
Out to prowl, or just to cry
And they say democracy dies in darkness
But the blaze will claim us all
They’ll ruin the only home we have
Then just sit back and watch us fall

So I welcome the October armageddon
It’s the best of times (it’s the best of times) it’s the end of days (it’s the end of days)
And I watch the world around me as it all goes up in smoke
Where have we come from? Where will we go
