they're asking for a name
they need someone to blame
and the questions never end
it's far too late to mend

the ground's pulling apart
the flames are taking hold
the tides are coming in

you better prepare
you better be ready
when the time comes

you're not gonna run
you'll never be the same
when the time comes
you can't simply pretend
that nothing's happening
when the time comes

(AWESOME INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN)

it's us versus them
they really can't help it
it's human nature

confusion turns to panic
panic turns to hate
and hate turns to blood

responsibility
consequentially
you lack authority

you're not gonna run
you'll never be the same
when the time comes
you can't simply pretend
that nothing's happening
when the time cooooooooooooooooooooooooomess

(AMAZING GUITAR SOLO)

the ground's pulling apart
the flames are taking hold
the tides are coming in

you better prepare
you better be ready

WHEN THE TIME COMES
