Operating above ground once again, the rebels learn that the Men in Sharp Suits have relocated to a large coastal city with the children. The source of this valuable information, “Jacob”, is a defector. He talks of an impending ‘event’ that was supposedly predicted by the Men of Great Power.
lyrics
Jacob
This guilt of mine
It weighs me down
So let me tell you straight
Your boys and girls
Were taken far from here
A place, beside the sea
Starr
Then there we’re heading
Across the dusty plains
We’ll find the children
And bring them home again
Bring them home again
Ok?
Jacob
There’s something else
You need to know
This world is near its end
Old rulers said
The end of days
Will take us by surprise
Surprise
Starr
It’s just a rumour
A vicious fairy tale
The non-believers
We’ll fight against the lie
Fight against the lie
Ok?
