"2012" (lyrics by Jimmy)

"2012"
------
Lyrics (c) James Paddock, 2012.

VERSE 1
Ancient prophecies and visions
Warn of planetary collisions
Predicting untold demolition
Can't escape the premonitions

Should we prepare our children
For the day of defeat?
Should we place our faith in
what we read?

Mankind marches on
We constantly evolve
Our ideals and ways
Have changed sevenfold

CHORUS
You can't place a date
You can't seal our fate
Judgement day will remain unexplained
Not preordained

It can't be all for nought
So perish the thought
We shall live life for all its worth
Upon this earth

VERSE 2
Fearmongering philosophies
Unquestioned religious creeds
Widespread panic sows the seeds
Of impromptu rage and greed

Should we exact our vengeance
On what we can't control?
Should we place our faith in
what we're told?

Mankind marches on
We constantly revolve
Our ideals and ways
Have changed sevenfold

[CHORUS]

MIDDLE SECTION
The closing chapter has been penned
But that doesn't mean that it's the end
Life is short and fast goes by
Even when death takes its time

You can believe our time is near
And tear down all that you hold dear
Or you can live without a care
'Cos whatever happens...

We're not going anywhere (You only get one chance)
We're not going anywhere (You only get one chance)
You're not going anywhere (We only get one chance)
You're not going anywhere (We only get one chance)

[CHORUS/FINALE]
