Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor

I wish wed all been ready

The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish wed all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone

I wish wed all been ready

Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and ones left standing still

I wish wed all been ready

The father spoke, the demons dined
How could you have been so blind?

There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

I hope well all be ready
You've been left behind [Repeat: x3]
