the city, the hustle 
the workers, the muscle 
the martyrs, the monkeys 
the data, the junkies 
the wounded, the tortured 
the fallen, the slaughtered 
the highway, the wagons 
the dungeons, the dragons 
the ocean, the salmon 
the lifeblood, the famine 
the cattle, the karma 
the bible, the drama 
the princess, the paupers 
the daughters, their stalkers 
the statement, the warning 
the sirens, we set 'em off 

sirens 
the sound of the sirens 
 [bad word] reigns above 

the huffing, the puffing 
the money for nothing 
the winnings, the losses 
the burning of the crosses 
the passion, the hunger 
the lightning, the thunder 
the murder, the mirror 
the ending of an era 
the fortune, the market 
the children, the target 
the lovers, the fighters 
the writers that guide us 
the future, the preachers 
the teachers that reach us 
the statement, the warning 
the sirens, we set 'em off 

sirens 
the sound of the sirens 
 [bad word] reigns above
