When bombs come down, death comes to town
The enemy walks in and tries to steal the crown
Your sons get drafted, daughters are lost
Your mothers cry and all your newborns they are left
Blood fills the streets, painting the doors
The stench of burning meat of soldiers built for war
Treaties are gone, rewrite the past
Invade, ignore all of the laws that once been passed
We knew about our fate
Been told and long away
Now it’s too late
Remember they once said: „Duck and cover!“
Tanks waltzing mud, bones, flesh and blood
And snipers hiding in the towers to catch up
No one has won, all resources gone
The devil’s laughing about mankind’s selfish bond
Hiding and crying and taking cover
Running and dying and mourning the cause
That seems so pathetic while we are lost
While they are planning and writing in dust
We knew about our fate
Been told and long away
Now it’s too late
Remember they once said
We sealed our long known fate
Summoned the true hell’s gate
And now it is too late
Remember they once said: „Duck and cover!“
Hiding and crying and taking cover
Running and dying and mourning the cause
We knew about our fate
Been told and long away
Now it’s too late
Remember they once said
We knew about our fate
Been told and long away
Now it is too late
Remember they once said: „Duck and cover!“
