The Fall Lyrics - Stateless - Lene Lovich

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
