Finale

(Kevin Gilbert)

I guess this is it
It's time for what's been called the finale
And this one is quite a surprise

One of a kind
You'll never see this anywhere else, friends
It sort of brings tears to your eyes

Be watching closely
And you'll be impressed
An order is given
A button is pressed

Then a light that is blinding and a sound that is shrill
Don't blink or you'll miss it
It's the end of free will

Forgive them now
Drawing little lines with their speeches
Each daring the other one to cross

It won't be long now
'Cause one will make a stand he believes in
Believing it's well worth the cost

Then the other, angry
Refuses to budge
Fueled by some understandable grudge

And now we went quietly 'til the missile arrives
There's no need to shout about the end of our lives
Take it boys

That's right
Now our skin is all melted
And our bones are all curled
I guess we really weren't ready for the end of the world
