Triumvirat - Across The Water Lyrics

When the hell broke loose at midnight
Time to die was near
Golden tongues, disastrous fire
Increasing human fear
Sounds of prayers
To God had faded
There was no escape
Burning bodies, crowded sundeck
Told them it's too late

Death by fire, an awful question
But they still could choose
Burned to ashes
So getting drunk
Nothing left to lose

Death by fire, an awful question
But they still could choose
Burned to ashes
So getting drunk
Nothing left to lose

Part 4 - 5 o'clock tea

"Be home for tea"
The queen told me
When I was leaving
To see the three down on their knees

Begging for mercy
It's all been fun
The hanging is on
What has been told to
Death has a face
Savings from grace

He has to leave why
But for the chain
I will just be away
The carefully prepared execution
It seems that to me
That I must run
Some deal with utter amusement

Dropped in for tea
She's waiting for me
Switched on the Tele
And smashing it cried
Ending the fight

Haven't seen us with valet
"Be home for tea",
The Queen told me
When I was leaving
To see the three narrowly free
All the way from the backroom
