STATE OF EMERGENCY
Emergency [UK] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the sirens as they wail
People going crazy, the systems failed
Riots on the streets, its comin down
Securities lost, it can never be found
With night, comes the gas and rain
You hear the Earth screaming out in pain
From every mouse, man and deer
Comes a terrible sense of fear...
It's a
State........ of Emergency
State........ of Emergency
Bait......... as far as you can see
And you can't trust your eyes to believe
It's a
State........ of Emergency
State........ of Emergency
Wait......... we've found the key
To problems, suffering and anarchy
Listen to the sirens as they sound
All the crazy people are comin round
These lives, in the end, will not exist
Spirits disappear as they enter the mist
With day, comes the rounds of fire
People think that they've been inspired
Every single mouse, man and deer
Are now overcome by this trecherous fear
Listen to the sirens as they wail
People going crazy, the systems failed
Riots on the streets, its comin' down
Securities lost, it can never be found
Listen to the sirens as they sound
All the crazy people are comin' round




These lives, in the end, will not exist
Spirits disappear you enter the mist
