Guitarist Dan Hawkins said of the title “Easter is Cancelled” to The Rockpit:
The whole concept of ‘Easter is Cancelled’ is “what if Jesus had lived?”. Would the world be in the place it is now, with it ecologically imploding and Donald...
[Verse 1]
I die in vain
I have lived to no avail
The path forks before you
Drive in the final nail
[Pre-Chorus]
A thousand years of chaos
And a thousand more
Of pestilence and famine
Violence and war
Rise of the arseclowns
Burning everything
We cannot trust the air we breathe
And the birds no longer sing
[Chorus]
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
[Bridge]
Peace
Time
Peace on planet earth
Huh
[Verse 2]
Tell me, children
Can you live with what you've done?
Aren't you disgusted
By what you have become?
[Pre-Chorus]
Mesmerized by evil, feasting on their lies
Too high on the smell of your own fear to realize
Spreading disease so they can sell the cure
Goodness is always diluted, and evil is always pure
[Chorus]
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
You wait a lifetime for an angel
Demons tearing you apart
Consequences of betrayal
In the end, you break your own heart
[Chorus]
Easter is cancelled
No more death and no rebirth
Peace on planet earth
Easter is cancelled
And the children do not dance
Give the world a chance
