[Verse 1: Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]

Denying the lying

A million children fighting

For lives in strife

For hope beyond the horizon

A dead world, a dark path

Not even crossroads to choose from

All the blood red carpets before me

Behold this fair creation of God

[Bridge: Tarja Turunen]

My only wish to leave behind

All the days of the earth

An everyday hell of my

Kingdom come

[Verse 2: Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]

The first rock thrown again

Welcome to hell, little Saint

Mother Gaia in slaughter

Welcome to paradise, soldier

My first cry neverending

All life is to fear for life

You fool, you wanderer

You challenged the gods and lost

[Chorus: Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman

Save yourself and let them suffer

(Shut) In hope, (Shut) in love

(Shut) This world ain't ready for The Ark

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman

Save yourself and let them suffer

(Shut) In hope, (Shut) in love

(Shut) Mankind works in mysterious ways

[Interlude: Marko Hietala]

Welcome down to my Planet Hell

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Marko Hietala & Tarja Turunen]

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman

Save yourself and let them suffer

(Shut) In hope, (Shut) in love

(Shut) This world ain't ready for The Ark

Save yourself a penny for the ferryman

Save yourself and let them suffer

(Shut) In hope, (Shut) in love

(Shut) Mankind works in mysterious ways

[Outro]

Ha, ha, ha
