When the end of the end finally came   Your name was on the list   But not for what you did   A terrible accident      When the people you love were destined to stray   You never thought to say   Why do you cause   Terrible accidents      By and by, from above, a sword of flame   To and fro it came to smite   And pound to dust   Heaven-born love is blind      Let’s take it back in time and down south   Where you take, with all due respect   (For which none is)   You take your car and run him down      And when they come in their craft   They find a man half driven mad   By the sound of burning      And you find from the evermore   Steel-tossed arcs of gore   Your eyes averting      And they say look at what we’ve done   But sick, you say where   Are we really going      And they say look, the fire is clean   But waking up from your dream   You say this is an accident      A terrible accident
