Maybe This Time

Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy streets, rain falls down in sheets
Windswept men are coming home from work
Shoppers drag their bags & youngsters drag their fags
While hidden in the shadow evil lurks
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy streets friends & lovers meet
Sit in bars & moan about their day
As beer & banter flows, little do they know
Apocalypse is just a breath away
Laugh & cry, don't ask why, safe inside your cages
Take your cup, drink it up, sleep the sleep of ages
Payback time, for your crime, pave the way to Hades
Flames & noise, for the boys, shrapnel for the ladies
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
Down in the busy street people lifted from their feet
As bricks & glass fly outward from the blast
And in a single breath, life turns to death
A future bold becomes a shameful past
Maybe this time it will happen, maybe this time wait & see
Who's to blame when words of honour
Are discarded shamefully
