Missiles

a double take
the talking stops
whoever thought this could happen?

no goodbyes
noone to mourn
before we all
turn to nothing

once again we reap what we sow
in the end we get what we owe
call the time on the good and the bad
it's a tie between the ties and you and i

i've never been one to cry, one to cry
i'm telling you that i don't mind, i don't mind
we'll be at peace when it's time, when it's time
for us to die and that's why

i don't mind if this is how it ends
cause the sun never sets on a world on fire

and when the missiles hit the ground
even this cloud will have its silver lining

so suddenly, it's time to go
i'd like to go, but it's been awful

life's too short to be with you
to tell the truth i think i like it that way

despite the things that i'd like to say
i think my breath would waste away
who needs a bed when you've got a gun
to the head of everyone

i've never been one to cry, one to cry
i'm telling you that i don't mind, i don't mind
we'll be at peace when it's time, when it's time
for us to die and that's why

i don't mind if this is how it ends
cause the sun never sets on a world on fire

and when the missiles hit the ground
even this cloud will have its silver lining

the killers
the racists
the fighting and the maiming
the proddies
the papists
the naming and the shaming
the warlords
the landlors
they're falling on their swords
you know
and i know
that we reap
what we sow

i've never been one to cry, one to cry
i'm telling you that i don't mind, i don't mind
we'll be at peace when it's time, when it's time
for us to die and that's why

but i don't wanna see us suffer
another second on this earth

i don't mind
if this is how it ends
cause the sun never sets on a world on fire

and when the missiles hit the ground
even this cloud will have its silver lining

i don't mind if this is how it ends
cause the sun never sets on a world on fire

and when the missiles hit the ground
even this cloud will have its silver lining
