Genesis The Last Domino Lyrics

The Last Domino Lyrics

In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it
would last forever.

Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people
are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly
clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of
blood.

The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of
hell
I stare round about me
Children are swimming and playing with
boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve and I am
alone.

Now see what you've gone and done.

Now you never did see
such a terrible thing
As was seen last night on T.V.
Maybe if we're
lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see
There's
nothing you can do when you're the next in line
You've got to go
domino.

Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
I know
what I must do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only
lives on in a song
There's nothing you can do when you're the next in
line
You've got to go domino.

Do you know what you have done?
Do
you know what you've begun?

In silence and darkness
Hold each other
near tonight
For will it last forever?

There's nothing you can do
when you're the next in line
You've got to go domino
