When The Wild Wind Blows by Iron Maiden

Have you heard what they said on the news today
Have you heard what is coming to us all
That the world as we know it
Will be coming to an end
Have you heard?
Have you heard?

He sees (1)________ in the distance
Where the darkened clouds roll
He can feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror
See an old man now
Does it matter they survive somehow
They said there's nothing
Can be done about the situation
They say there's nothing we can do at all
To sit and (2)________ around for something to occur
Did you know?
Did you know?

As he stares across the garden
Looking at the mea dows
Wonders if they'll ever (3)________ again
The desperation of the (4)__________________ getting graver
Getting ready when the wild wind blows...

Have you seen what they said on the news today
Have you heard what (5)________ said (6)__________ us all
Do you know what is happening
To (7)________ everyone of us...
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
There (8)________ be a (9)______________________ that (10)________ we've (11)__________ seen
There will be something that will light the sky
That the world as we know it
It will never be the same
Did you know?
Did you know?

He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss
Getting ready when the moment comes
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Good to have because you (12)__________ know
They tell us nothing that we don't already know about
They (13)________ us nothing that is real at all
They only fill us (14)________ the stuff that (15)________ want
Did you know?
Did you know?

He's (16)____________ finished with the preparations for the day
He's getting tired that'll do for now
They are preparing for the (17)________ worst to come to them
Getting ready when the wild wind blows

He sees the picture on the (18)________ it's falling down
Upside down

He sees a teardrop from his wife roll (19)________ her face
Saying grace

Remember time they had
They flash right through his mind
Left behind

Of a (20)________________ spent together long ago
Will be gone

They've been preparing for (21)________ weeks now
For (22)________ the crucial moment comes
To take their refuge in the shelter
Let them prepare for what will come

They make a tea and sit there waiting
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Not long to wait for absolution
Don't make a fuss just sit and wait

Can't believe all the lying
All the screens are denying
That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the T.V.
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

Say a prayer when it's all over
Survivors unite all as one
Got to try and help (23)________ other
Got the (24)________ to overcome
I can't believe all the lying
All the screens are denying
That the moments of truth (25)________ begun

Can't you see it on the T.V.
Don't (26)______________ them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

When they found them
Had their arms wrapped around (27)________ other
Their tins of poison laying nearby their clothes
The day (28)________ both mistook an earthquake
For the fall out
Just another when the wild wind blows
