lyrics

And so a crisis comes to take the life of the common man
Rushes in to claim the old and vet the new
Orders from, oh Lord above, witness his brutal hand
Slither across the garden of an empty pew

These are strange times we’re living in

And so the virus, this disease, this blight you’ve cast upon
Creeping past iconic highways of the isles
Go one for one, come two for two, it grew and the panic ensued
Killed your mother, baby
Stopped her heart and it went

Off like a landmine
All remain inside
The city’s overwhelmed
There’s no hospital beds
Overnight timebomb
And generation gone
You do as your told
Baby, as your told
Your solitude will end up saving lives
In these strange times

Go four for four, come more and more, terrify, you can herd em inside
In the streets, there’s not a soul there is not a sound
Bank accounts are full of doubts, worldwide there’s a giggling hive
They stopped the world this morning
It no longer turns today

Off like a landmine
All remain inside
The city’s overwhelmed
There’s no hospital beds
Overnight timebomb
And a generation gone
You do as your told
Baby, as your told
Your solitude will end up saving lives in these strange times
