7 Seconds from Babylon

Can you vibe with it
Locked up in your place with a virus outside and you can't hide from it
And what will you do, if the system crumbles, the bankers fumble, and the world hits the ground

I, oh I, I know you're frightened, you're hurting, you're hungry for the dawn, for the strength to cary on
Now this thing's filled the sky with goodbye, in the dark crying light from your eyes
Waking up in a bad dream
Living inside a scream
There's hell in your bloodstream
We're seven seconds, we're seven seconds from Babylon

And who are the heroes today? Doctors, nurses, shop workers underpaid
Salute the politicians and journalists you rely on
The drivers and providers whose safety you have forgone
And what about the mad leaders so blind deaf and dumb
Won't pay for the cure because it costs more than the problem
Can we leave the future in their hands
Where life so cheap and death is on demand
In your eyes I see a better land with the truth untied
From the ashes a great phoenix we will rise
No longer innocent
Not clean
But wise

I, oh I, I know you're frightened, you're hurting, you're hungry for the dawn, for the strength to cary on
Now this thing's filled the sky with goodbye, in the dark crying light from your eyes
Waking up in a bad dream
Living inside a scream
There's hell in your bloodstream
We're seven seconds, we're seven seconds from Babylon

You can't hide from it
You don't bond with it
Stay the ... home and diggidy
Put on your mask and vanish like Houdini
Ama mi, love stinks in quarantine
Life it goes on the nineteen
Positive thoughts, take care of your family
Doctors and nurse like warriors in war
Soldiers in trench, the people at home
Virus is there, virus is here
Come on Ireland no fear
Solid as a rock, stronger than I thought
From wexford to Donegal come on, come on, come on
Another case another life, another day goes by
Lonely more lonely than ever
End doesn't matter, we will survive, believer
Shotgun Monkeyz
Worldwide
Stay safe
Be strong

I, oh I, I know you're frightened, you're hurting, you're hungry for the dawn, for the strength to cary on
Now this thing's filled the sky with goodbye, in the dark crying light from your eyes
Waking up in a bad dream
Living inside a scream
There's hell in your bloodstream
We're seven seconds, we're seven seconds from Babylon
