Analysis of This is
Joe crouch 1980 (Amarillo)
As the grey turns to black
And the wick has lost its flame
The sun has stopped shinning
The moon is lost in space
As these cities crumble
And the roads cave in
Life is no longer a highway
Its a fucking dead end
Lost are the virtues
Lost are the good men a deserted landscape the beginning of the end
Lets pray to jesus
Oh god will save us
No one is coming
This is the end
Its all but over
This is our final breath
Call for forgivness
This is the end
