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 damned 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?"
