Verse 1:
Lying, awake at night l wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear, cos l'd rather go now.
Trying, to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound, a burial ground.

Guitar 1 & Guitar 2:
Chorus:
When it comes to the time are we partners in crime
When it comes to the time we'll be ready to die.
Now play Riff 2 again.
Verse 2:
God, let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come, thy shall be done, on earth
Trying, to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live? Forget or forgive?
Riff 4:Play 4 times.
Guitar 1 & Guitar 2:

But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end.
And we know, deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning no more to say.
