Here Comes the War |
| Today, as you listen to this song, another 394,000 children |
| Were born into this world … they break like waves of Hunger and desire upon these eroded shores … carrying |
| The curses of history and a history yet unwritten … the oil |
| Burns in thick black columns the buzz saws echo through |
| The forest floor … they shout give us our fair share, |
| Give us justice … |
| … here comes the war |
| On a grey morning to the south of here two young men in Makeshift uniforms peer into the misty light … and |
| Figures dart behind the trees as a snap of rifle rounds |
| Echoes out across the fields … well they hardly know their |
| Sacred mother tongue … but they know their duty to defend |
| The flag hanging limp and bloody above the village church … |
| While a thousand miles away in a warehouse complex down by The river … young money men play paintball games … |
| … here comes the war |
| Put out the lights on the age of reason … |
| Blow out the candle and tell us another of these great stories … |
| The ones about serial killers … let dreams flow into savage |
| Times … do you hear the sirens scream across the city. |
| We’ve had three hot nights in succession … the hot season is Here again … dear lord lead us back into the valley of the |
| Shadow of death … |
| … here comes the war |
| Did you think we were born in peaceful times? |
| Faster, faster … like a whirling dervish spinning round … |
| Faster, faster … till the centre cannot hold … faster, faster … |
| You screamed give us liberty or give us death |
| Now you’ve got both, what do you want next? |
| … |
| … here comes the war |
| Put out the lights on the age of reason. |
