November came
And at the break of one day
All hell broke loose
In unexpected ways
First came the fire
Then came the rain
The flooded streets ran cold
Felt ice in our veins
Oh, the rivers froze
Under cloud shadows
We lost sight of the sun
Our heartbeats slowed
Then a terrible thaw
The devil opened its claw
We dropped down to our knees
We saw death withdraw
Barricades appeared
And the authorities sneered
A new order arose
As we had always feared
In the age, in the age, in the age of 45
In the age of 45
