I Woke Up This Morning

I Woke Up This Morning
I woke up this morning feeling very strange
I woke up this morning with sin on my mind
The devil invades my dreams time after time
But I’ve had enough of always doing wrong
I know I’m weak, but I must be strong
For I’ve been a sinner all my life
I lost my children and my wife
I just couldn’t go change my ways
I did wrong with each passing day
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
I see wrong doing wherever I go
On the hill up high in the valley below
Darkness like a veil covers this land
What can I do, I’m just a man
Oh help me Lord to do what’s right
Remove this veil so I can see the light
I’ve been blind please give me sight
So I can see in the day and night
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
The man in a black coat asked me for a prayer
He had barbed wire teeth and fire in his hair
I said ‘My pockets are empty, I’ve nothing to give’
He said ‘Look in your soul, it’s where God lives’
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Make me pure, make me clean
Make me see you in my dreams
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
I'm gonna sing 'Hallelujah'
I'm gonna sing 'Hallelujah'

Better Days
I was born
I was raised
In the wind
Of a smoky haze
I been blown
I been burned
I been barred
When will I ever learn?
But these eyes
But these eyes
Have seen better days
Better days, better days
These eyes have seen much better days
Take me back
Take me home
I can't stay
No more on my own
I've gone far
I've gone bad
I've gone weak
Maybe I'm going mad
And these eyes
And these eyes
Have seen better days
Better days, better days
These eyes have seen much better days
I don't know
I don't say
I was right
To leave you that way
I need love
I need you
To come back
And do the things you do
So these eyes
So these eyes
Will see better days
Better days, better days
These eyes will see much better days
So these eyes
So these eyes
Will see better days
Better days, better days
These eyes will see much better days
I was born
I was raised
In the wind
Of a smoky haze

These Moon Dog Blues Lyrics
You never treat me right
Even though I treat you kind
You never do treat me right
I tried my best to be kind
All you seem to wanna do – is tangle up my mind!
You call me a ‘moon-dog’
When it’s you that’s done me wrong
You call me ‘an old moon-dog’
When you gone and done me wrong
Coz you leave me howling at – the moon each time you’re gone!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl x 4
Howling at the moon
These moon dog blues
You never walk the dog
You say it’s my job to do
You don’t like to walk the dog
You say that’s for me to do
You know that sometimes I need – a little help from you!
This dog he needs some love
For it’s what we all need right
Give this dog some of your love
I know you can make it right
Please don’t be rough with him – don’t pull his chain too tight!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Come over here mama
Come take this dog for a walk
You come here pretty mama
Take this dog for a good walk
They’ll be no howling – no I won’t even talk!
You never take me to eat
At places where there’s a crowd
No we never go and eat
And sit where there is a crowd
When I complain you just say
“Sign says ‘No Dogs Allowed’!!
You say when we make love
That I only know one way
You say when we’re making love
That I know no other way
I don’t wanna face it no – you’re lucky you I don’t make you pay
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
I’m howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl

Try To Save Someone lyrics
You might be the richest man in the world
Or a superstar adored by boys and girls
Might be a Tom working the streets
Might be a cop pounding the beat
You might be a model on the catwalk
Or a politician that knows how to talk
Might be a doctor healing the sick
You might be smart you might be thick
No matter who you are
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?
It might be someone begging on the street
A baby without water in the burning heat
An orphaned child crying in the dust
Or a tramp searching through the bins for a crust
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
You know you can’t take it with you when you go
On the grave of the richest man in the cemetery weeds will grow
Do good deeds with your time that remains
Help loosen the shackles of those in chains
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
You can turn away and pretend you don’t see
Those suffering every day in poverty
You’re alright Jack you’re living well
Forget about them living in their daily hell
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
They say you’re the richest country on earth
Who knows what you’re really worth
You got wealth and money to burn
What does it cost to do a good turn
Do a good deed it’ll make you feel good
To know that you’ve helped someone like you know you should
It’s so easy to take and not to give
What means more than to help someone to live
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
You might call me naive with simple ideas
But I’ve seen so much suffering through the years
Life is precious life is unique
Whether strong and rich or poor and weak
No matter who you are
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?

They Killed Her, Didn’t They? Lyrics
The Family’s so glad she’s gone
She’s flown up into the arms of The Son
They never liked her friendly ways
They despised her love of life ev’ry day
But to us she seemed more real
She seemed to care how we feel
Some say ‘With just her smile she could heal’
Next to Mother Teresa she now kneels
I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
Although they hounded her day and night
She never gave up her will to do what’s right
She was like a rebel on the run
But in the end ‘The Establishment’ won
She showed us how to give and how to love
It was like she came to us from above
She was taken from us before her time
Some say ‘They know who had done the crime’
I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
Yes there were times, I’m sure you know
When she was down and she felt so low
And she seemed to carry the world on her shoulders
But she came through it wiser and a bit older
She gave hope to the ill and the poor
And to those who didn’t know what they were living for
Even though at times she felt alone
We all know that in our hearts was her home
I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?
At the ceremony her boys were told not to cry
Like it wasn’t their Mother who had died
The Family devoid of any emotion
But she was the focus of the country’s devotion
Her cheating husband was now free
To be with the woman with whom he always wanted to be
The night when she went I felt so sad
She was like the sister that I never had
I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?

I’m Not There Lyrics
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
The obituary read:
“Killed by an overdose of press”
Not that the mother in law could care less
“Got what they deserved” is what they said she said
I’m glad I’m out of it and far away
I never did regret leaving
If you catch me sleeping in the shade of the day
Can you check if I’m still breathing?
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there
Your complimentary words
Ring like Big Ben inside my brain
And although sometimes the truth is preferred
You can tell me one or two white lies again
I know I can do what I’ve done before
Everyone says I can’t come back
And although I still don’t have respect for the law
We were friends one time down the track
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there
You can see by the lines that cross my face
Time has taken its toil
But I sure ain’t ready for the hole, or the fire,
I still got passion, I still got desire
And though I might be far away,
I’m still competing in the human race
The visionaries gone blind
There’s no-one to show you the way
They’ll help you believe in it if you pay
Clowns are in re-hab re-programming their minds
I guess there’s a price to pay to be free
This rolling stone’s gathered some moss
I’m just a shadow of the man I used to be
Don’t ask me why it’s just because
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I said let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not there, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there

My Friend Dorothy lyrics
Dorothy, her friends and you
Caught in a tornado’s corkscrew
Watching evil ride a broom
Past the window of your bedroom
*
Dreaming you were far away
Not caring what the neighbours might say
No longer having to hide
Wearing your badge openly with pride
*
Leaving Kansas City
Leaving the farm
Leaving Kansas City
Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas City
*
Waking up in a strange land
Met the Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man
They had to wander, they had to roam
To try to find the way back home
*
Our friend Dorothy and them took the road
They were told it was paved with gold
It was narrow and straight, the road of others dreams
But nothing can ever be as it seems
*
Going back to Kansas
Backwards in time
Going back to Kansas
Back to Kansas in my mind
*
And I love you
Guess I always have
Going back to Kansas
Kansas City, Kansas City, Kansas City
*
Back in Kansas where I belong
I have wandered and I have roamed
But believe me when I tell you
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
*
Oh tell me Mama
What does it all mean?
Was it just a dream Mama?
Just a dream, Just a dream, Just a dream
*
You showed me the colours of the rainbow
You set me free
You’re forever in my memory
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy
My friend Dorothy

Bob Dylan – Our Prodigal Son lyrics
Robert and Bobby were the best of twins
They were in the game till the end to win
They both loved Rock, Folk and old time Blues
Was sometimes a Christian, sometimes tangled up as a Jew
They tried to hide their roots and their past
Said they’d joined a circus to get away fast
But they couldn’t hide from where they came
From up in the midwest iron ore range
You might think they’re two, but they’re one
Both rolled up as the Prodigal Son
After the crash when he’d gotten clean
He seemed tranquil and no longer mean
He hid from the rat race turning wheel
And no longer asked ‘How does it feel’?
At Woodstock it was a no show
You said ‘Not me, no, no, no’
The hippies scene was dead and well done
It wasn’t for you, our Prodigal Son
The years went by and you stayed away
You’d pop up here and there sometimes to play
They said you were finished, said you were gone
You knew you just had to keep on keeping on
Like the wild rover looking for divine love
You said you put all your faith in Christ above
When that phase was over and was done
You returned to us, our Prodigal Son
You’ve lived fast and without remorse
Driven on by a rumbling force
Money came and money went
Can it compensate for your torment?
You seen so many friends pass on
They were here yesterday, now they’re gone
You say ‘We’re only passing through’
Well that’s the Prodigal Son’s point of view
You taught me to just believe my eyes
You said this world is a whirlpool of lies
The lions of Judah will all roar
When you’re knocking on heaven’s door
We’ll be sad and lonesome when you’re gone
You’ll return to your heavenly home, our Prodigal Son
I’ll remember you when you’re gone
And flown up towards the Sun
All that will remain will be your song
I’d say ‘I was proud to know you, our Prodigal Son’!

Marilyn Monroe - Endless Night lyrics
Like a well written mystery
Played out on the stage of history
All the actors played their part
From the 1st scene to the last
The world saw the opening scene
The plot was cruel, the plot was mean
‘Happy Birthday Mr. President, you fill me with glee
How I wish you felt the same about me’!
The same about me’!
Wish you felt the same about me’!
John, Bobby, Jimmy and Sam
Each one an influential man
The big four always knocking on your door
In the end they didn’t want you no more
Love from a stranger
A stranger in the night
The curtain came down
On an endless night
The C.I.A. and The Mob one time
Were both together partners in crime
They wanted Fidel out of the scene
He was polluting their American Dream
Some say it was a put-up-job
By the C.I.A. and The Mob
You’ve had a red or two in your bed
Is that why they wanted you dead?
Sam warned you not to sing
Keeping quiet wasn’t your thing
Who were those uninvited guests
Cleaning up all the mess?
There was nothing, nothing you wrote
Not in black and white
You didn’t leave a note
On this endless night
Before the end you took a personal call
There’s an unfinished portrait hanging on the wall
The scene was clean, it was complete
The maid furiously washing the sheets
They said you went at half past ten
Were you alone or surrounded by men?
There were bruises on your back
Like you’d been beaten and attacked
Your stomach was empty, it was clean
There were no needles found at the scene
Something seemed foul, something was wrong
Your secret red diary was gone
The deed had been done
They turned out your lights
They didn’t do it with a gun
On this endless night
On this endless night
On this endless night
Well, The big four met grisly deaths
Staring down a barrel as they took their last breaths
John, Bobby, Jimmy and Sam
Were you their Sacrificial Lamb?
Their Sacrificial Lamb
Were you their Sacrificial Lamb?
Judy’s ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’
Played as they lowered the casket of Monroe
No-one said Kaddish over her grave, no-one cried
Who was really shocked that Marilyn had died?
Now the orchestra is quiet, there’s no more song
All the leading actors are long gone
The stage is dark and without light
On this lonely cold endless night
The stage is dark and without light
On this lonely cold endless night
The stage is dark and without light
On this lonely cold endless night
On this lonely cold endless night

I Believe Lyrics
I believe in a better tomorrow
That’s not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
Don’t hurt others with words or deeds
Don’t turn your back on those in need
Teach your children to love and respect
Show them the way that’s true and correct
I believe, I believe
I believe that we will see a new day
And we’ll find a new way
I believe in pure love that’s true
I believe you will one day too
I believe you will one day too
I believe, I believe
Learn from mistakes and grow within
Reach for the stars let life begin
Peace and love inside you are the keys
To open your heart and set you free
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe in a better tomorrow
That’s not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe

I Sold My Soul To The Devil lyrics
I sold my soul to the devil
Won't get it back from there (so, what's the deal?)
I sold my soul to the devil
And less I could really not care
Been standing at the crossroads
And my tongue it was on fire
Been standing at the crossroads
Being tempted by desire
I sold my soul to the devil
And I won't get it back from there
I sold my soul to the devil
And less I surely could not really care
I faxed my soul up to heaven
Don't think that it arrived
I faxed my soul up to heaven
I want to get out of here alive
It's the end of the highway
And the judges wait for us
It's the end of the highway
Soon we'll be no more than dust
We'll be no more than dust
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
I faxed my soul up to heaven
I wanna get outta here alive
It's the end of the highway
And the judges wait for us
It's the end of the highway
Soon we'll be no more than dust
Play for the devil
Play for the devil
I faxed my soul up to heaven
Don't think that it arrived, no
I faxed my soul up to heaven
Just trying to survive
I want to get out of here alive
I sold my soul to the devil
Won't get it back from there
Soul to the devil
It's my ticket to go anywhere

You Fucked Me Up Lyrics
You fucked me up
You fucked me up
It’s time to pay back what’s due
What I say to you to me isn’t new
With these games you asked me to play
You screwed me up to this day
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
You fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
All this hurt inside
Can no longer hide
It’s time to let it all out
It’s time to come clean
You know what I mean
I just wanna scream and shout
The abuse I took
Could fill a book
A book that no one will read
For you hurt me there
You didn’t care
As you satisfied your greed
You fucked me up
You fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
You fucked me up
They say that time heals
Sounds a great deal
Come here I’ll show you the scars
I want to break free
I must have the key
To be released from these bars
Can I forgive you?
They say I must do
Well maybe I can
Maybe you’re not to blame
Maybe you’re just the same
After all you’re just a man
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
It’s time to take off the gag
And let the cat out of the bag
You fucked me up
Oh how you fucked me up
You fucked me up

My Baby's Gone Blues lyrics
Can't you hear me cryin'
I'm cryin' all night long
Can't you hear me cryin'
I'm cryin' cryin’ cryin’ all night long
The world seems so wrong, seems so wrong,
Now that my baby's gone
The world seems so wrong, seems so wrong,
Now that my baby's gone
Now that my baby's gone
When she went away
She said to me, it's time to leave
When she go away
She say to me, it's time to leave
As she let go of my hand
She said, baby, baby, baby no
As she let go of my hand
She said, baby, baby, baby no don't you grieve
Don't you grieve
Been cryin' through the night
Been cryin' through the day
Although I know it just ain't right
I'm crying anyway
My baby's gone,
My baby's gone,
Oh my baby's gone,
My baby’s gone, I just don't know
What else to do and how to carry on.
Can't keep it to myself
The world has got to know
Can't keep the news to myself
The world, the world has got to know
Feel so bad, feel so bad about my baby
And now these tears, these tears, oh they're gotta flow
And now these tears, these tears, oh they're gotta flow
Been cryin' through the night
Been cryin' through the day
Although I know it just ain't right
I'm crying anyway
My baby's gone,
My baby's gone,
Oh my baby's gone,
My baby’s gone,
My baby’s gone, and I just don't know
I just don’t know

Burn Out lyrics
You sent me a letter I didn't understand
Delivered by a dyslexic postman
Said you'd tried and sentenced me for not loving you
Are you my judge and executioner too?
I gave you all I had left in the tank
You went laughing all the way to the bank
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Even though I slumber with one eye open
See my field of vision is slightly broken
And though you might think that I am sleeping
Can you check if I am still breathing?
And if my bleeding heart's still beating
My heart was anything but cheating
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
I'm just an ordinary man
Trying to get by as best I can
A mid-life crisis we might be facing
And our own tails we might be chasing
The car's revved up and raring to go
Though the head gasket's starting to blow
I still have the postcard that said 'wish you were here'
Hard to accept that you'll never be near
Sometimes it's hard to want to keep on keeping on
When everyone you've ever loved has left and gone
When the road that you are on bends and winds
They say that we're all bound to crash sometimes
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall
Heading for a burn out
Heading for a fall
Crashing head first into a stone wall

Blood and Wine lyrics
Watching the world from the top of this hill
I can’t understand man’s desire to kill
I see people act like they’re gods
Mistreating others as if they were dogs
Tell me are those coins in your hand
Worth the price of the life of a man?
Tell me are those coins in your hand
Worth the price of the life of a man?
Life of a man
Lord, Lord
On this hill with my hands full of nails
Looks like I’ve lost and that everything failed
Even my friends turn their backs on me
Others I trusted pretend they don’t see
Do you think those coins that you hold
Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold?
Tell me
Do you think these coins that you hold
Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold?
Tell me
I can’t stand hearing the cries
Of innocence as it slowly dies
Truth is covered by thick layers of lies
You cannot believe your eyes
They say that one day we’ll be free
But that day seems like eternity
How long do we have to wait
For me it’s already too late
In the street girls sell their body and soul
Boys with smart weapons have taken control
There’s a church with a bright golden steeple
So much wealth wasted so many poor people
Those coins that you grip in your hand
Will slip through your fingers like sand
Those coins that you grip in your hand
Justice is blind up here were I am
I am still dying to find one good man
Who’ll take a stand and tell what is true
Turn the other cheek just to make it on through
Those coins that you’d so planned to save
Will curse you unto your grave
Will curse you unto your grave
I watch this world from the top of this hill
And I wonder if it’s really Gods will
To see the prophesies slowly fulfilled
How much more blood will be spilt
Is there nothing more left but to grieve
How can you learn to believe
When you eat and drink the bread and wine
Do you remember that blood is mine?

I Will Return Lyrics
Followed me along the Way
But soon I must go
Before the light goes from the day
I’ll rise from the valley below
Pushing my weary bones
Through these narrow streets
The sharp cobbled stones
Cutting my naked feet
People scream as I pass
Their eyes full of hate
How long can this pain last
I’m ready to face my fate
But Mary don’t you cry
Coz we were all born to die
If I stumble and fall
Don’t give me your hand
Even if I have to crawl
My way from the Promised Land
They call me a rebel
A disturber of the peace
But I fought with the devil
Face to face with the beast
Oh Mary don’t be sad
Not all man is bad
I came to do good
To help you break your chains
I tried all I could
Will you remember my name?
Mary don’t you weep
Coz I won’t be dead
I’ll just be asleep
As I climb that steep hill
Carrying my load
I know I will be killed
It was long ago foretold
But I will return
No one can know when
The sun will rise and burn
So be strong till then
Mary don’t be concerned
I will return
I will return
I will return

You Love I Lyrics
You Love I
The war is over
Gone is the soldier
That try to take land from I
From top of Spring Hill
Below is all still
Birds and the bees they fly
I thank you Haile
Your love is as mighty
As a lion you showed to I
You a million miles away
Still I sing you every day
Even though you not with I
For you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
You love I
I sat in the yard
I watched the guard
That dress better than I
I ask who is free
As he looks for the key
That will help unlock I
Mercy and love
Shines down from above
Into the face of I
I know in my heart
Though we be apart
You will not abandon I
For you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
You love I
And her rock star lover
Hiding under the covers
Pointing his finger at I
He sow his seeds
Digging the weeds
He think he better than I
Those times they gone
We could not hold on
Now we don’t see eye to eye
I must move on
I must be gone
It’s a long road before I
I must move on
I must be gone
It’s a long road before I
I know you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
I know you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I

How Long Must We Wait? Lyrics
I’ve been waiting for you to come
Like night time waits for the rising sun
To give light and life to this earth
Like a good Mother giving birth
I’ll follow you till the end of time
For as long as the sun continues to shine
For as long as the earth turns in space
How long, how long till I see your face?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long, how long must I wait?
Your face will shine brighter than the sun
You will be seen by everyone
There’s a donkey in the stable
He’s willing, ready and able
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
One day you’ll be here
I can’t say what day or year
For I know and believe that it’s true
I have always put all my faith in you
Just give us the word
That all the world will hear
That you’re on the way
I can’t wait for that day
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait, Lord?
Your face will shine brighter than the sun
You will be seen by everyone
There’s a donkey in the stable
He’s willing, ready and able
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
Tell me, how long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
Tell me, how long?

Covid-19 – The End of The World? lyrics
A poison fog’s covering this land
A viral disease we can’t understand
From where did it come, oh God damn!
A meat market or a lab in Wuhan?
It’s spread cannot be controlled
It’s culling the sick and the old
Hell on earth, a living nightmare
One thing for sure, we won’t be saved just by prayers!
It might be a revelation
To this generation
But if you know the book of Saint John
It’s a battle that must be won
The devil’s work is being done
Has the end of the world just begun?
Who can save us from our fate?
For millions of souls, it’s already too late
Forced to die away from their homes
With no-one near and all alone
There was a flood, there was a plague
Who will die this time, who will be saved?
When will it end, when will it go?
Does the devil or does God know?
It might be a revelation
To this generation
But if you know the book of Saint John
It’s a battle that must be won
The devil’s work is being done
Has the end of the world just begun?
Has the end of the world just begun?
Has the end of the world just begun?
Has the end of the world just begun?
Has the end of the world just begun?
Will it go as quick as it came?
Will it return with a different name?
Will it be here forever more?
Or will it pass into humankind’s folklore?
I hope and long for that day when
Our lives will be normal again
And having to wear a face mask
Will be a thing of the distant past
It might be a revelation
To this generation
But if you know the book of Saint John
It’s a battle that must be won
The devil’s work is being done
Has the end of the world just begun, just begun?
