"The Silver Cloud's Dark Lining" lyrics - SKYCLAD

Sailing of the century
A human-life raft floating
The jaws of the void approaching
Growing closer by the hour
Played lottery with destiny
Could not believe you'd lose
Collect your one-way ticket for
The Good Ship Earth's last cruise

So play today
Go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you'll find
The silver cloud's dark lining

Poor general intelligence
All that is rank promoted
Distended bellies bloated
Gorged on candy-coated lies
Though honest as the day is long
Dark nights are drawing in
But I for one grow tired of this
A devil sick of sin

So play today
Go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you'll find
The silver cloud's dark lining
Stand in line
And pay your dime to watch Atlantis rising
When do you'll see right through
To the silver cloud's dark lining

Oblivion comes calling
Expel your last breath praying
Hear the hounds of Hades baying
Find there's nowhere left ot run
Across the fence midst greener grass
A serpent winks his eye
For each of us he's baked a slice
Of home made apple-pie

So play today
Go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you'll find
The silver cloud's dark lining
Played lottery with destiny
Could not believe you'd lose
Collect your one-way ticket for
The Good Ship Earth's last cruise

So play today
Go make your hay beneath a warm sun shining
But bear in mind one day you'll find
The silver cloud's dark lining
Stand in line
And pay your dime to watch Atlantis rising
When do you'll see right through
To the silver cloud's dark lining
