Lene Lovich - The Fall lyrics

Rumours arrived as they sat at the feast Of the army that comes from the east Burning each village and town The temple bell sounds the alarm Invasion x 3 Look out it's happening right now Knock on the door in the night now Fires on the hillside surrounding the town Fires and night coming down like a blanket And fear at the gate And there¹s nothing to do, but wait Danger x 3 Look out it's happening right now Knock on the door in the night now Blood on the paving stones, blood on the walls As the city of wisdom falls Conquering squadrons march in With banners the colour of sin Darkness x 3 Look out it's happening right now Knock on the door in the night now Some old men grab all the books that are in sight Then escape into the night Carrying their truth far away You can see them still running today Freedom x 3 Look out it¹s happening right now Knock on the door in the night now
