lyrics

Fingernails grow old and rotten 
Old and rusted soon forgotten
I don’t care. I never did care for that set. 
So game, set, match, your king is taken, 
Black or white it doesn’t matter 
I know now, I know we’re all doomed.

So bombs, bombs, bombs go down, down, down 
Planes in the skies are crashing round, 
What a cacophony, what a symphony of sound.  
Towers crumble into stone, 
Back to ground from where they’d grown, 
But they’ll all come back, they’ll all rise up again.

Bones are battered, beaten, broken, 
Taken from skin, kept as tokens, 
Ivory chains hanging from you neck! 
So love, love, love, it’s now or never 
Soon we’ll die and last forever, 
And immortality isn’t spent alone.

And bombs, bombs, bombs go down, down, down, 
Planes in the skies are crashing round, 
What a cacophony, what a symphony of sound.  
Towers crumble into stone, 
Back to ground from where they’d grown, 
But they’ll all come back, they’ll all rise up again.

Bombs, bombs, bombs go down, down, down, 
Planes in the skies are crashing round, 
What a cacophony, what a symphony of sound.  
Towers crumble into stone, 
Back to ground from where they’d grown, 
But they’ll all come back, they’ll all rise up again.
