'The Clocks Have Gone Back'The clocks have gone backAnd everything's changedHow did we get here, how did we get hereAnger and fear?They think we won't knowAs they squander our trustLost in survival, lost in survivalBut we are still usOh how the music is willing us onOh how our smiles fill with tearsWe are still where we belongHope in the darknessPeace in the silenceHold on to the life we have knownWe shall remember, we shall rememberOur ancestors stir in our bonesThey don't like the marchingThey don't want us doingThey want us away from the frontSo we can't see them, what they are stealingThey want it all wrapped up and doneAnd oh how they wish we would quietBe good, be quiet...They can't break us allWe are one, we are oneThe clocks have gone backAnd everything's changedHow did we get here, how did we get hereAnger and fear?They think we won't knowAs they squander our trustThey think we won't knowLost in survival, lost in survivalBut we are still usBut we are still us...© Maria Daines/Paul Killington1st November 2024
