life was filled with guns and war and all of us got trampled on the floor I wish we'd all been ready the children died the days grew cold a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold I wish we'd 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 we'd all been ready two men walking up a hill one disappears and one's left standing still I wish we'd all been ready there's no time to change your mind the son has come and you've been left behind 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 we'll all be ready you've been left behind I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind
