Here Comes The War
New Model Army Here Comes The War (Sullivan / Heaton / Nelson) 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 burns in thick black columns the buzz saws echo through the curses of history and a history yet unwritten .... the oil give us justice .... the forest floor .... they shout give us our fair share, .... here comes the war On a grey morning to the south of here two young men in figures dart behind the trees as a snap of rifle rounds echoes out across the fields ... well they hardly know their makeshift uniforms peer into the misty light .... and 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 .... times .... do you hear the sirens scream across the city. the ones about serial killers .... let dreams flow into savage 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 .... Now you've got both, what do you want next? .... You screamed give us liberty or give us death .... here comes the war Put out the lights on the age of reason.
