SKYCLAD
"It Wasn't Meant To End This Way"
(Music: Graeme English/ Lyrics: Martin Walkyier)

Sometimes I believe that we're already dead
Each day on the TV our last rights are read
Some fair-weather oil tanker bleeding its load
Powder keg power plant ripe to explode

Mr. Prime Minister
Hear what I say
Please Mr. President
Listen, I pray
You have the influence
And you have the power
To turn back the clocks
On mankind's final hour

When death is the helmsman who steers Jonah's Ark
Tomorrow's an iceberg that lurks in the dark
The band played our song
It's the Funeral March
