Death And Destruction

Lyrics: John Dawson
Music: John Dawson

When you were living in Jerusalem
Can you remember how it was back then?
Maybe I'm that man up in the sky
Did you ever stop and think and wonder why

Chorus
Do you remember my friend?
How it feels like in the end?
Will you wish you had a friend?
When it all comes round again
When it all comes round again

When you were living in Pompei
Can you remember how it was that day
When all at once there was nowhere to go
Can you remember how that felt to know?

[chorus]

When you were living down in Spain
Here come the man of God again
Now they've built that fire up under you
What do you think now that you're gonna do?

[chorus]

When you were living down in Warsaw
Can you remember how they loved the law?
And when you heard that last knock on your door
Did you have the feeling you'd been there before?

[chorus]

Oh now you're living in America
Can you remember when they traded you?
What would you have to pay to get your soul back today?
Do you remember how we got this way?

[chorus]
