Have you heard what they said on the news today
|
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
|
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
|
Have you heard, have you heard?
|
|
He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll
|
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
|
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
|
Does it matter they survive somehow
|
|
They said there's nothing can be done about the situation
|
They said there's nothing you can do at all
|
To sit and wait around for something to occur
|
Did you know, did you know?
|
|
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows
|
Wonders if they?ll ever grow again
|
The desperation of the situation getting graver
|
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
|
|
Have you seen what they said on the news today
|
Have you heard what they said about us all
|
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
|
Have you heard, have you heard?
|
|
There will be a catastrophe the like we?ve never seen
|
There will be something that will light the sky
|
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
|
Did you know, did you know?
|
|
He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss
|
Getting ready when the moment comes
|
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
|
Good to have because you never know
|
|
They tell us nothing that we don?t already know about
|
They tell us nothing that is real at all
|
They only fill us with the stuff that they want
|
Did you know, did you know?
|
|
He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day
|
He's getting tired; that'll do for now
|
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them
|
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
|
|
He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down
|
Upside down
|
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,
|
Saying Grace
|
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind
|
Left behind
|
Of a lifetime spent together long ago
|
Will be gone
|
|
They've been preparing for some weeks now
|
For when the crucial moment comes
|
To take their refuge in the shelter
|
Let them prepare for what will come
|
|
They make a tea and sit there waiting
|
They're in the shelter feeling snug
|
Not long to wait for absolution
|
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait
|
|
Can't believe all the lying,
|
All the screens are denying
|
That the moments of truth have begun
|
|
Can't you see it on the T.V.?
|
Don't believe them in the least bit
|
Now the days of our ending have begun
|
|
Say a prayer when it's all over
|
Survivors unite, all as one
|
Got to try and help each other
|
Got the will to overcome
|
|
I can't believe all the lying,
|
All the screens are denying
|
That the moments of truth have begun
|
|
Can't you see it on the T.V.?
|
Don't believe them in the least bit
|
Now the days of our ending have begun
|
|
When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other
|
Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes
|
The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,
|
Just another when the wild wind blows...
