"Is This the End?" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw. BMI. The guns are ablaze Setting the city on fire A mother stares at a grave While a crack dealer smiles Violence is justified When there's no end in sight Morality is not the issue When there is no wrong from right How can a nation be for real When its disintegrated with no appeal Is this the end? Please tell me now Is this the end? Please tell me how The pressure continues from all around From the Pentagon to the president In the cities and the towns Is caring and sharing a thing of the past? Have we worked so hard for something that will last? How can a nation be for real When its disintegrated with no appeal Is this the end? Please tell me now Is this the end? Please tell me how Hasn't the past Unlocked the future Who's got the power to be able to see Why's the door still closed Closed to the future Who's goin' find that opening key How can a nation be for real When its disintegrated with no appeal Is this the end? Please tell me now Is this the end? Please tell me how

"Sky Girl" lyrics by Mike Anderson. BMI. She was just a little girl Her parent's little pet She had some dreams and seen some thing That most people forget The illusions that were real They never left her eyes She never learned not to believe Or take a mortal guise A man, he looked down right on her She gazed up right back He had tried to take from her What he himself did lack He said, "I'm gonna break your spirit" She said, "You talk too much" "How the hell can you break what you can't even touch" Just watch me spread my wings And make love to the sky While you stumble round on the ground And very slowly die

Lyrics by Mike Anderson. BMI. I was shot out of bed this morning Someone's at my door Scratching, screeching, bawling, calling I can't take any more - no, no, no Don't come over today Please come over tonight Say what you gotta say You just know you're gonna be right, right, right, yeah Wringing hands and clenching fists Like there's something in the air Freedom here, evil there I don't know if I really care Don't come over today Please come over tonight Say what you gotta say You just know you're gonna be right, right, right, yeah Now your life's a thin straight line Honey, I got news for you What you know, you think you know Ain't necessarily true Don't come over today Please come over tonight Say what you gotta say You just know you're gonna be right, right, right, yeah

about

"Is This the End?" is the second album released by Fade To Black. This album captured the band as they transformed from their original line up to changes in band members on drums and bass and the loss of their second guitar player. By the time this album came out in August of 1991, the band was close to breaking up (or as we like to call it now, a short vacation of 19 years).
