The Great Disaster

(الألبوم: The Eleventh Hour - 1983)

I'll tell you something
About the things that you should know
And you'll learn
As you grow and in turn
Be one step further
Along the road to realise
There's no rules
Bad advice, many fools

First class performance
To fill the lines of empty heads
There's still hope
For the dream but you don't
Embrace disorder
It will chill you from inside
And destroy
Everything that you try

Innocent faces look up in the classroom
Soon their time will come
So beware of the skilful disguises
It's too easy to dress up in white
For this world can be full of surprises
From the gutter a kingdom looks nice
You're learning
There's no returning

This final blunder
For which they all expect our thanks
They will hide
From the kill to survive
The great disaster
They'll take great care and will avoid
Being there
'Cause it's more than they dare

Innocent faces look up in the classroom
Soon their time will come
Don't be fooled by the shining appearance
It gets tarnished in time, don't we all
They'll be wearing their wealth on their fingers
And instructing us all how to fall
You're learning
There's no returning
