Iron Maiden - When The Wild Wind Blows Lyrics
Have you heard what they said on the news todayHave you heard what is coming to us all?That the world as we know it will be coming to an endHave you heard, have you heard?He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds rollHe could feel tension in the atmosphereHe would look in the mirror, see an old man nowDoes it matter they survive somehowThey said there's nothing can be done about the situationThey said there's nothing you can do at allTo sit and wait around for something to occurDid you know, did you know?As he stares across the garden looking at the meadowsWonders if they'll ever grow againThe desperation of the situation getting graverGetting ready when the wild wind blowsHave you seen what they said on the news todayHave you heard what they said about us allDo you know what is happening to just every one of usHave you heard, have you heard?There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seenThere will be something that will light the skyThat the world as we know it, it will never be the sameDid you know, did you know?He carries everything into the shelter not a fussGetting ready when the moment comesHe has enough supplies to last them for a year or twoGood to have because you never knowThey tell us nothing that we don't already know aboutThey tell us nothing that is real at allThey only fill us with the stuff that they wantDid you know, did you know?He's nearly finished with the preparations for the dayHe's getting tired; that'll do for nowThey are preparing for the very worst to come to themGetting ready when the wild wind blowsHe sees the picture on the wall, it's falling downUpside downHe sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her faceSaying GraceRemember times they had, they flash right through his mindLeft behindOf a lifetime spent together long agoWill be goneThey've been preparing for some weeks nowFor when the crucial moment comesTo take their refuge in the shelterLet them prepare for what will comeThey make a tea and sit there waitingThere in the shelter feeling snugNot long to wait for absolutionDon't make a fuss just sit and waitCan't believe all the lying,All the screens are denyingThat the moments of truth have begunCan't you see it on the T.V.?Don't believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begunSay a prayer when it's all overSurvivors unite, all as oneGot to try and help each otherGot the will to overcomeI can't believe all the lyingAll the screens are denyingThat the moments of truth have begunCan't you see it on the T.V.?Don't believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begunWhen they found them, had their arms wrapped around each otherThe tins of poison laying near by their clothesThe day they both mistook an earthquake for the falloutJust another when the wild wind blows
