Cenotaph - The Alarm

I have built an air raid shelter

Got some food and clothes

Radiation suit for the fall out

And a bullet just in case

I hope and pray the God of love is on my side

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the house of Lords

Lay your wreath at the cenotaph

If you want peace, prepare for war, war

I’ve got a white flag of surrender

And a pick and a spade

I’ve got some morphine for the pain

And a white cross for the grave

As I wait for the God of peace

To save

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the house of Lords

Lay your wreath at the cenotaph

If you want peace, prepare for war, war

As I pray

For the God of love

To heal

There’s talk of building a wall around us

To save us from the infidel

They’re folding flags in cemetries

If you want peace, prepare for war, war

I prepare for the ending

And the time that is left

I’ve made my will and testament

Through the blood, I’ll come again

As I walk with the God of grace

By my side

There’s talk of war in the air this morning

They’re ringing bells in the house of Lords

Lay your wreath at the cenotaph

And if you want peace, prepare for war

If you want peace, prepare for war, war

War, war

If you want peace, prepare for war

Lay your wreath at the cenotaph

Get ready, get ready for war

If you want peace, prepare for war

If you want peace, prepare for war
