The sound of gunfire shocked a nation

Five down, five people dead

The country wakes up after 50 years asleep

And the flag has got a slight touch of red

Blood on the ground

There's a new war running

Blood on the ground

The curtain falls

1999 the wakeup call

A number of coldblooded murders

Broke the silence hear the battlecry

A country wakes up after 50 years asleep

And they're looking thru halfway open eyes
