Lyrics
Nothing I can say and nothing I can do
Feeling powerless, unable to affect the impending outcome
Can change the fate coming for me and you
Fate is inevitable for everyone
Nothing I can see and nothing I can find
Perception lacks evidence of a universal purpose
Tells me this world has got us all in mind
Doubtful about the world's concern for humanity
Little did I know, black thunder rolling in
Unexpected troubles looming like a storm
Little did I know, that this could be the end
Realization of a potential ending or catastrophe
Little did I know, time to begin again
Acceptance and readiness to start anew
Little did I know, little did I know
Emphasizing lack of prior knowledge or foresight
Nothing we can say and nothing we can do
Collective helplessness despite efforts
Our gold and silver it won’t pull us through
Wealth doesn't guarantee salvation or protection
Nothing we can shout and nothing we can sing
Actions and expressions won't alter inevitable events
Can stop the bell this world it wants to ring
Inevitability of a world-changing event
Little did I know, the knife and rusty blade
Discovery of imminent danger or harm
Little did I know, what fragile souls we made
Realization of human vulnerability
Little did I know, an execution stayed
Averted or postponed consequences
Little did I know
Reiteration of unawareness of significant events
The center slowly breaks
Breakdown of stability or order at the core
The thread disintegrates
Deterioration or unraveling of connections
The stars they slowly fall
Symbolic downfall of cosmic elements
God can you hear us at all
Seeking divine intervention or guidance
Nothing we design and nothing we could build
Inability to control or prevent natural forces
Can stop all nature once it’s had its fill
Human impact on the environment and its consequences
Walked on every field and torn apart the land
Destruction caused by human actions
The blood of every being is on our hands
Responsibility for harm caused to all life
Little did I know, the night could get so long
Surprise at the duration and severity of adversity
Little did I know, we’d lose our right and wrong
Loss of moral clarity or certainty
Little did I know, war drums are beating strong
Signs of conflict or impending strife
Little did I know, nothing we can say
Repeated emphasis on the inability to alter destiny
Little did I know, nothing we can do
-Little did I know, nothing we can say
-Little did I know, nothing we can do
-Little did I know, nothing we can say
-Can change the fate that’s coming
