The Fall

We watch it on the TV, can you take it in

You bury your fears and disbelief, at the thought that they might win

We're in the time of darkness, we never thought we'd see

I'm praying for a chink of light; I hope you'll prey with me

We didn't see it coming, most didn't after all

We couldn't have imagined to hear that siren call

Air raids and destruction, where did it all begin

It's called the fall, it's called the fall

Fleeing crowds of refugees, gather in a foreign land

Do we think to try and reach out, or put our head in the sand

Helpless tear-streaked children with nowhere left to run
