lyrics

6. The Eleventh Hour

One little book told us all that we were written
And every word we needed was inside it

Two great hands told the world that it was made 
And put people on the world to tell it

A three-faced lord paranoid and bored
Flooded all the world just to show them

Four wrote the world of all the wonders they had seen
Then handed over truth to their editors

Five was blood just an old wound now
But every war then and since has been forgotten

Six days succeeded where eternity had failed
The apple on the tree began to ripen

The seventh day he turned his back the apple fell
And gravity was cursed for its allegiance to the devil

On the eighth day he came and some of us were saved
Depending on our appetite for shellfish

The ninth day clouds told the world that they were angels
As they rained upon the people far below them

Ten laws told us all that this is how it is
And the ten plagues gave us reasons for them

The eleventh hour is here when will he appear?
What are we missing while we're waiting for his judgement?

We live in a globe
How can we figure out 
The difference between up and down?
We live in a globe
Only we can sort it out
Is he so simple?

We live in a globe
Why should we reach out?
We are indifferent and it’s never our fault
We live in a globe
There’s only so much room for doubt
Are we so simple?
