Up, and Get Us Gone...

Hurry, hurry it's time to go.
Hurry up, hurry up, it's time you know.



Up, and get us gone.
No time to linger,get your shoes on.



Step out the door, it's time to be gone.
On the road again, all alone.



Soon another town...
Awaits the passing clown.



Funny it is the heart of stone, it has no power to hold.
Hearts of stone, secrets are frozen, never told.



Doesn't matter any more.
The fires will roar.



Frozen and hard, no diamond will shine.
Broken and forgotten is this heart of mine.



Pretending all is fine.
All is fine if you say so, I'll not whine...



Putting on the mask of silence for your sake.
Wandering with you through yet another earthquake.



Pretending there's no damage, pretending all is well.
Waiting for that final bell.



Hurry up, hurry up we must leave.
No time, no time, we must flee.



He's coming again, it's your fault you know...
So you've told me once again, so my heart has turned to stone.



Pretending all is well, walking hand in hand.
Running away, running back, pretending life is grand.



Pretending to care.
You have taken words and twisted them beyond compare.



It doesn't matter anymore.
Hurry up, hurry up, it's time, The Reaper is at the door.



The Reaper never misses his call.
Don't worry he'll never let you fall.



Hurry up, hurry up, it's time to up and get us gone.
Hurry, hurry, this time it's for you he longs...



Death is in a hurry, so don't be late.
Someone's knocking at the door, someone's opening the gate...
