I Wish We'd All Been Ready

Life was filled with guns and war

And all of us got trampled on the floor

I wish wed all been ready

The children died, the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish wed all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

The son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone

I wish wed all been ready

Two men walking up a hill

One disappears and ones left standing still

I wish wed all been ready

The father spoke, the demons dined

How could you have been so blind?

I hope well all be ready

You've been left behind
