Newtown Jericho Lyrics - The Alarm

See them run 

Like characters in paintings 

Turners frightening 'scapes 

Industrial inside a nation of no escape 

There's no escape in my frightened face 

As we run run run 

And turn to stone 

OH LORD hear me now 

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho 

OH LORD the wailing sound 

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho 

See them fall 

The rebecca ride at dawn 

Petticoat ghost and tom 

Working to reclaim the land for no reward 

There's no reward my daughters of dawn 

As we run run run 

And turn to stone 

OH LORD hear me now 

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho 

OH LORD the wailing sound 

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho 

I've been down amongst the crying there 

Upon my knees I'm dying 

And Polsen dragged across the city walls 

Upon a wooden horse 

Horse 

Horse 

Horse 

This is Jericho 

OH LORD hear me now 

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho 

OH LORD the wailing sound 

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho 

Jericho, Jericho 

Jericho, Jericho 

Jericho, Jericho 

Jericho, Jericho 

Oh lord
