Time Bomb
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed,
Before the damned thing blows us all to Hell!
Before they wake — before they get alarmed,
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed.
We saboteurs thought we’d escape unharmed!
But now it seems that we’ll be killed as well!
The time-bomb we have made must be disarmed,
Before the damned thing blows us all to Hell!
— D.N. O’Brien
