Afternoon Before The Apocalypse Songtext
von Jackie Ward

I stare out into the warm glow
Of a london sunset
On the afternoon before the apocalypse
We′re all out of time
We had five years left
But it's alright we′ll hold hands
As it all ends

As the night draws near
I confront my fear of the eternal dark
This one moments all we've got
Sitting in this park
We both knew it would end
Before the bad times could start
But our love's eternal
You′re always in my heart


I wander through each charterd street
Near where the chartered Thames does flow
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe
In every cry of every Man
In every Infants cry of fear
In every voice: in every ban
The mind-forged manacles I hear
How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackening Church appalls
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls
But most through midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

The sky falls down
There′ll be hell to pay
What a beautiful day
The sky falls down
There'll be hell to pay
What a beautiful day
