1948 Lyrics

You know as we close the ranks,
We're staring straight into the face
Of man about to lose his left, ohhh.
Tell me, is he afraid
Because the water's never blue here, no!
And then the morning missed its grave
it's like he's stealing breath
he's stealing breath
Well this will be his last...

And all his baptists are sown on!
Decorations for breaking and so on!
But they only serve to remind him,
Just why he serves, why he's fighting.
Hear me now! oh.

Before! Before! Before you're gone!
But you're not dead yet so again she says she bet.
Beyond! Beyond! Beyond your toes!
She said it best, she put it best.

When she said, when she said
"Could you imagine the entire city covered in ashes, covered in ashes
And the branches sway you could even say they're Sh-sh-shining." Come on now, uh!
Have you gone unfortunately without the sun? Did you function without the sun.
No harm done, no harm done!
No harm done, now tell me did you find yourself saying?
I give it ten years time and these people they surround me
and will be friends of mine.

And did she wish well as you stepped on that plane?
and sent you on your way.
won't you tell me now, did you miss her, did you miss her face?

1-9-4-8! 1-9-4-8!(2x)
Come On!

Now open your eyes...

Before! Before! Before you're gone!
But you're not dead yet so again she says she bet
Beyond! Beyond! Beyond your toes!
She said it best, she put it best

Before! Before! Before you're gone!
But you're not dead yet so again she says she bet
Beyond! Beyond! Beyond your toes!
She said it best to when she said did you find yourself saying?
I give it ten years time and these people that surround me,
they will be friends of mine.
And did she wish you well as you stepped on that plane?
and sent you on your way.
Won't you tell me now? Do you miss her, do you miss her face?

1-9-4-8, 1-9-4-8!
1-9-4-8!
