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 die
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
