lyrics

"Air Raid"
A faint blaring came just now to my ears
Like an air raid siren waiting for years
Just woke up to fall right down the stairs
Swimming in a white light like razor blades

Chorus:
Klaxon blares – It’s coming for us all
This is not just me dreaming
Klaxon blares – It’s been there all along
Never seen until screaming

This is not a test of the emergency broadcast
This is real and happening fast
A circle, a cycle, Coriolis corrected
And now… the siren blast

Chorus

Marching with no beat as the klaxon blares
No peace, no rest, no hope… no fear
Bury me in a nameless grave
Nineteen-eighty dash twenty-twelve

Chorus
