Time is of the essence
I mustn't waste a minute
They’re coming now, they’re coming now
Time to duck and cover

It’s starting
The war has just begun
Their tongues the only weapon
The worst kind of them all

I watch as it begins to crumble
Everything I’ve known
She lashes here, swipes him there
In a tone so far from her own

Its almost over
The war is almost through
What will this hold
I long to be told
What trouble will ensue

The warriors are breathless
They’ve given up their blades
This troublesome plight
Has ended the fight
Worse than I’ve ever seen
