ザ・プロディジー/THE PRODIGY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raise your fan up
For the noise

Wake the dogs up
Call your voice

Are you ready
For the war

Bring your colours
To the flour

[Repeat: x4]
(I can see the look in your eyes)

Show your colours
With your colours
To the flour [Repeat: x3]

Wake yourself up
Sirens on

Cause we are fighting
So eciting now it's on

Are you ready
For the war

Show your colours
With your colours
To the flour

(I can see the look in your eyes) [Repeat: x4]

Show your colours
With your colours
To the flour [Repeat: x2]

(I can see the look in your eyes) [Repeat: x5]

Show your colour! [Repeat: x4]

Show your colours




With your colours
To the flour [Repeat: x2]
