It was London after midnight and the sky was bleeding rain
The shadows fell so dark and thick they covered everything
In times like these and nights like this it seems the world's gone insane
And the catholic nuns in their black and white hold tight their crucifix tonight
I can feel my life descending
I dreamt I died again
It's a nightmare never ending
Will I ever be the same
I can feel it all descending
To a shadow land of pain
It's a nightmare never ending
Will I ever wake again
Out there on the city streets the violence is beyond belief
And as the cycle keeps on turning I fear there'll be no relief
A future d***ed or so it seems
Say goodbye to pleasant dreams
And with the thoughts of what's ahead I sometimes wish that I was dead
"On earth as it is in hell" not what were told but it sure suits well
Those who love, trust and ignore greed; they run thin, they're a dying breed
Will we see heavens gates, or are we forced toward different fates
In this world we must fight and fend, "Oh my lord will this ever end?"
