1914 and Beyond Songtext
von Cats on Fire

Have a look around, have a last look around
1914 will witness the fall of all nations
The age of men will come to an end
The black hand moves to set the wheels in motion

I think I′ve got touch of the Spanish flu, now it has to be true
Everywhere you look there are victims of crime and disease in our time
And on the Black Tuesday, be thankful that you are one of the chosen few

Have a look around, have a last look around
1914 it began the fall of all nations
The age of false kings will come to an end
This wicked system won't survive this generation


Look at the powder keg that is Germany now, look how England took its vow
When the hands of the Doomsday Clock reach midnight, we′ll see the light
And on the last Tuesday, don't let the parting upset you, because we will meet again

We are The Great Crowd and we won't die
We have been through all the seven ages
We′ve been waiting for the end of times
Now it′s only months away, so we are kind of flying high

Greece, don't pay your debts, don′t bother with the debts
Iceland, go on and cover us in ashes

Look at how the gross misdeeds of a few is entertainment for you
The European Union is being torn apart – well, it was doomed from the start
And on the last Tuesday, don't let the parting upset you, because we will meet again
