It's not like this,
it's never happened before
When times stood still
When the beast came knocking,
came knocking at our door,
When time stood still,
And we're presented with a
golden opportunity,
An d all we have to do,
Is learn from history,
When time stood still.
Cut all the forests down,
Slash and burn to feed our greed,
And time stands still.
As it stripped the world for our excess,
Our future's guaranteed,
Indeed, and time stands still
Will our ship survive this storm,
or are we doomed to sink?
Is there time to turn the tanker
and pull back from the brink?
And time stands still
We build society
with just the same mentality
Empires rise and nations fall,
the apocalypse will kill us all
And while we speculate,
the dinosaurs prevaricate,
the asteroid hits, it's too late.
Then time stands still.
So drink your fill now,
it's last orders at the bar.
And time stands still.
This is the exit from this universe,
the door is left ajar,
and time stands still.
And we've been pushing
at apocalyptic certainty
For so long now we are blinded
and can't see with clarity,
then time stands still.
We build society
with just the same mentality.
Empires rise and nations fall,
the apocalypse will kill us all.
And while we speculate
that di nosaurs pre -barricade,
the asteroid hits it's too late,
then time stands still.
We build society
with just the same mentality
Empires rise and nations fall
Apocalypse will kill us all
An d while we speculate
that di nosaurs prevaricate
The asteroid hits, it's too late
Then time stood still
Is it like this?
This never happened before
Then time stood still
Then the beast came knocking
Came knocking at our door
Then time stood still
We were presented with a
golden opportunity
And all we had to do was
learn from history
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
When time stood still
Come to me, come to me,
come to me, me.
