A message arrived just now from 1972
About a song I heard and a movie I watched with you
The song returned in 1995
I wasn't ready but I was still alive
Scary the thoughts we thought back then
When we believed the entire world would end
A thief in the night, blood covering the light
We tried so hard to keep the Mark out of sight
It wasn't so much what we believed
As what just couldn't be true
It all began to fall apart for me
Some time after 1972.
* 1972: the year I was born, the year "A Thief In The Night" (a movie) was released.
* a song: “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”, by Larry Norman.
* song returned: DC Talk’s remake of Larry Norman’s song.
