Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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]
