The end of the world as we knew it
Just a few thousand people
Bombs in September took care of all that
Gone at the drop of a hat
Still there is hope though there is fear
Still there is hope
Lo how the mighty have fallen
Mens’ faces twisted in anger
Not even safe in our homes anymore
Eager to die in a war
Still there is hope though there is rage
Still there is hope
Hope springs eternal in the human heart they say
Never before have we been tested this way
Many years now since it happened
Colonels and princes cry havoc
Waiting in fear for the horror in store
Let slip the bloodhounds of war
Still there is hope that we may know peace
Still there is hope
Hope springs eternal in the human heart they say
Never before have we been tested this way
