Since those distant days of old, many times we have been told
A simple message from the lord, how to live in accord

But some still refuse to hear, still making others live in fear
The words he said they do ignore, still want to go and fight their war

It’s time to wake up and realise
End times are here, and it’s time to civilise
They’ll be no room, for you, if you are in disgrace
Behave like an animal, and you will have no place
Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not kill!

The rules of life are very plain, don’t choose to cause others pain
Don’t use your arms to kill, don’t use your mind to spread the ill

If you make mistakes, learn lessons in the wakes
Make sure you choose to heed
Don’t carry on, dishing out the wrong
Don’t choose to do that dirty deed
Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not kill!

What do we have to do, to get the message through to you
Cos now it’s time to draw a line
The road is at the end, last chance for you to amend
It is make your mind up time

If you cannot live in peace, if you want to kill and fleece
You will only, find demise
So take the words on board, and hear this message from the Lord
And learn to civilise
Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not kill!

Now we reach the end of days, last chance, to change your ways
There is no way to save, those men who won’t behave

In the end, it is, for you to choose
Do you respect life, or do you abuse?
You have freewill, so you can make your choice
Do you want to kill, or listen to the voice
Thou shalt not kill! Thou shalt not kill!
