|
Once upon a time |
|
When you had us all in line |
|
Thought that we would never learn |
|
The word out on the street |
|
Was you never felt the heat |
|
Even when the fires burned |
|
Then the dogs of war |
|
Barking at your door |
|
Is this what it's all about? |
|
So we broke the deal |
|
It's how it made us feel |
|
Drummer started on the shout |
|
Heard a thousand drummers on a solitary light |
|
Heat of a thousand summers explode into the night |
|
They hid behind the curtains, their faces were concealed |
|
A voice above the ashes screamed |
|
I want to make a deal |
|
I'm back on my heels |
|
Hell raising, drums blazing |
|
All over but the shouting now |
|
Hell raising, drums blazing |
|
Careful what you wish for, you may get it now |
|
Hell raising, drums blazing |
|
All over but the shouting now |
|
The look upon your face |
|
When we blew it into space |
|
And let the pieces fall about |
|
Destruction on the ground |
|
The heart of freedom found |
|
In a voice could only shout |
|
The pain would go away |
|
The pride inside would stay |
|
The blood is dripping you're alive |
|
The ones that stood and fell |
|
Were all remembered well |
|
The cross of an animal 5 |
|
Cold calculation got them to fall into line |
|
Annihilation, got them working the shine |
|
They scream and shout |
|
All over but the |
|
Beat generation in a room full of war |
|
Evacuation as the stones hit the door |
|
They want out, all over but the shout |
|
So, once upon a time |
|
When we lit the line |
|
Thought that we would never learn |
|
The word out on the street |
|
They melted in the heat |
|
Even when the fires burned |
|
Then the dogs of war |
|
Scratching at your door |
|
Is it what it's all about? |
|
So we broke the deal |
|
For everything you steal |
|
We start the drummer on the shout |
