Today I feel a cold chill in the air
Which touches each paw of my skin and every hair
Where’s peace gone or has that prolonged interlude come to close?
Who is now to trust, who are our friends who are our foes
What of elections, of democratic governance of one man one vote
Peacemakers threatened, politicians rejected, all in the same boat
Democracy discarded with civilisation freedom and hope
War beckons, prepare the weapons, will the troops be able to cope
But that’s not right, it’s against the rules, it really isn’t fair,
All cries extinguished as we step into that long dark tunnel of fear and despair
