lyrics

Raise up the alarm, the enemy is coming
An inevitable wave, ready to come crashing down.
It's bound to some harm, there's no way to stop it.
Stand tall, try to lose composure, and hold your ground.

Lose control, let your fear do the talking
Whispers of dissent, screams of tyranny.
Keep it together, just a little while longer.
The worst is yet to come, what will be will be.

I'm not sure if my neighbors are enemies or friends.
Not sure how to tell anymore.
How did we come to be here?
All these means to an end,
A little more poison to pour.

Oooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, raise the alarm, raise the alarm!

Put your ear to the ground.
Can you feel it shaking?
Rumbles of the Earth as they all march on.
Right and left, keeping time to the drumming
Ready to fight for their cause till they see a new dawn.

False Messiah, tells his lies to the prophets.
Make them believe their enemy looks just like them.
He starts a war, paid for by our mothers
Life, just to pay a price, for a pointless score.

I wash the blood from my hands, rinsed in thoughts and prayers.
By doing Your good works and deeds.
What if all you believed in was proven to be wrong?
What do do with those you deceived?

Ooooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, raise the alarm, raise the alarm!
