Protect Yourselves Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything is changing soon, the writing's on the wall
Just sit there and deceive yourself but everything must fall
The seas will rise across the land and sweep it all away
Anarchy will be the game, and everyone must play
[Chorus]
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
[Verse 2]
When we see the warning signs the change will come too late
Everyone will save themselves for we have sealed our fate
The sun will beat upon the earth burning all before
Everything is changing soon, nothing like before
[Chorus]
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Prepare yourself for anarchy, soon the end will come
Sit there and delude yourself, there's nowhere left to run
The seas will rise across the land and sweep us all away
Everything is changing soon, that's the price we pay
[Chorus]
Protect yourselves when the darkness comes
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
Everything is changing soon, the writing's on the wall
Just sit there and deceive yourself but everything must fall
The seas will rise across the land and sweep it all away
Anarchy will be the game, and everyone must play
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
When we see the warning signs the change will come too late
Everyone will save themselves for we have sealed our fate
The sun will beat upon the earth burning all before
Everything is changing soon, nothing like before
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
Prepare yourself for anarchy, soon the end will come
Sit there and delude yourself, there's nowhere left to run
The seas will rise across the land and sweep us all away
Everything is changing soon, that's the price we pay
Protect yourselves when the darkness comes
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones
Protect yourselves when the dark times come
Protect yourselves, you're not the only ones

Similar in theme to the previous track "Voice," this song talks about impending change and the need to prepare for uncertain times. It tells of a world on the brink of transformation, where natural disasters and societal upheaval loom large, and urges individuals to take responsibility for their safety and well-being as the future grows increasingly uncertain. The world in picture is a world in turmoil. There are signs of rising seas, increasing temperatures, and impending anarchy, all fast approaching, but are often being ignored.
In the end, it serves as a blatant rallying cry for self-preservation and a stark warning of the consequences of complacency, urging listeners to confront the challenges of a changing world and take proactive steps to safeguard their future.
