When Time Stood Still

from Fear The Flames (Album) by Brian Stone

/

about

The song muses on various ways we are hastening our own end, despite history providing us with plenty of warnings. The Apocalypse is coming.

lyrics

It's not like this never happened before
When time stood still
When the Beast came knocking, came knocking at our door
When time stood still
And we're presented with a golden opportunity
And all we have to do is learn from history
When time stood still

Cut all the forests down, slash and burn to feed our greed
And time stands still
Asset strip the world for our excess; our future’s guaranteed
And time stands still
Will our ship survive this storm or are we doomed to sink
Is there time to turn the tanker and pull back from the brink
As time stands still

We build society, with just the same mentality
And Empires rise and Nations fall, apocalypse will kill us all
While we speculate, the dinosaurs prevaricate
The asteroid hits, it's too late
Then time stood still

So drink your fill now. It’s last orders at the bar
And time stands still
This is the exit from this universe, the door is left ajar
And time stands still
And we’ve been pushing at apocalyptic certainty
For so long now we are blinded and can’t see with clarity
That time stands still
