[Verse 1]
Sound the alarm
Let the world around you know
The time has come for us to go
Is it too late to make amends?

[Verse 2]
Sound the alarm
Look at all that we've been through
And all the things we meant to do
But the time just flew by

[Verse 3]
Sound the alarm
Take shelter with the ones you love
Maybe someday we can rise above
And all be safe from harm

[Chorus]
There's no future in the way it was
We may never know just what it was
But if tomorrow brings a better day
Sound the alarm
It's all clеar!

[Bridge]
Darkness is falling
A new way is calling
Hope is alivе and
We have survived again

[Chorus]
There's no future in the way it was
We may never know just what it was
But when tomorrow brings a better day
Sound the alarm
It's all clear!

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
