The Warning

When the sun rises in the west
And sets in the east
When day is night and night is day
When rockets fly across the sky
When humanity has lost its care
And the currency is pure greed
When the birds cry out "Now, now"
We'll know we've lost our way

Let's not return to the edge
Let's heed the warning
We can survive it all
If we join together

When the world loses the fight
And the seas conquer the land
When the dark obscures the light
And winter is ever long
When we can't tell wrong from right
And fear rules over us all
The words will be too late
To save us from our fall

The blood of the just will be demanded of London
Burned by fire in the year sixty-six
Five and forty steps, the sky will burn
Fire approaching the large new city
Earth-shaking fire from the centre of the earth
Will cause tremors around the new city
Before these events happen
Many red birds will cry in the air
"Now, now" and some time later will vanish

At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
The sky will burn

At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
The sky will burn

At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
The sky will burn

At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
At forty-five degrees
The sky will burn

Let's not return to the edge
Let's heed the warning
We can survive it all
If we join together

At forty-five degrees
