about

From Live At Flevo With Q-stone, but with a little crowd noise removed from the start. More crowd noise is removed from the end, but replaced with the start of Messiah

lyrics

Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
(I wish we'd all been ready)

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 (Ooh ooh)
The son has come and you've been left behind (Ooh ooh ooh)

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 (Ooh ooh)
The son has come and you've been left behind (Ooh ooh ooh)

You've been left behind

Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
(I wish we'd all been ready) Wish we'd all been ready

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 (Ooh)
The father spoke, the demons dined (Ooh ooh)
Our father spoke, the demons dined (Ooh)
The son has come, don't be left behind (Ooh ooh ooh)

Don't be left behind
Don't be left behind, yeah-eh yeah-eh yeah yeah yeah

Don't be left, don't be left behind
Left behind

Don't be left, don't be left behind
He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare

He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone-aaah

Yeah

​Goodnight, God bless you [Spoken]
