| 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 |
