The Bitter End
Excalibur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People run throughout the city
Radiations in the sky
The bomb has dropped on London city
All the people slowly die
Cripples lay upon the pavement
Blind men try to help but cannot see
Mothers on the search for daughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh it is happening to England
World war three has now begun
Oh-oh-oh-oh it is happening to England
And will we ever overcome
People running through the streets
Bodies lay beneath their feet
It is happening now
It has happened to England
World war three has begun
And the battle is won
Can you hear the siren cry
Tell me are we going to die
Cos the city's on fire
I can feel myself burning
What's the Soviet Done
The sky has no sun
People run
Through the streets
See the bodies
Lay beneath their feet

Too bad Excalibur did not fully realise their incredible potential you can clearly hear on this fantasmic EP, Hammeron's - Nothing To Do But Rock is exactly how it would have sounded.
