Lyrics

This Is Not A Test

This is not a test
The ship is going down
We know you did your best
Yet still you've run aground
Nothing stops the tide
No...you can't hold back the sea
So...set your doubts aside at last
Let go, be free...
There's nothing left to say
Nothing more to do
The piper's here
Now he calls for you
You know it's true
You know you're through...

Don't be afraid
It comes to all of us some time, in time it does
The cards are played
The deck is done, the King is blind
And oh so tired
Oh yes, we know you tried...

Remember when you were a boy
You cried for wanting it
Well did you ever think
You might be wrong?
We never see
'Til all is gone
'Til day is done
Well, hello, setting sun...

This is not a test
The ship is going down...
