Maybe This Time

Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see

Who's to blame when words of honour

Are discarded shamefully

Down in the busy streets, rain falls down in sheets

Windswept men are coming home from work

Shoppers drag their bags & youngsters drag their fags

While hidden in the shadow evil lurks

Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see

Who's to blame when words of honour

Are discarded shamefully

Down in the busy streets friends & lovers meet

Sit in bars & moan about their day

As beer & banter flows, little do they know

Apocalypse is just a breath away

Laugh & cry, don't ask why, safe inside your cages

Take your cup, drink it up, sleep the sleep of ages

Payback time, for your crime, pave the way to Hades

Flames & noise, for the boys, shrapnel for the ladies

Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see

Who's to blame when words of honour

Are discarded shamefully

Down in the busy street people lifted from their feet

As bricks & glass fly outward from the blast

And in a single breath, life turns to death

A future bold becomes a shameful past

Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see

Who's to blame when words of honour

Are discarded shamefully
