Jorn - Dead London lyrics
[Jorn - Dead London lyrics]
Out of the ruins we were crawling
The second strike really made us realize
They had come from afar without warning
Feeding off the deaths of you and I
On the streets I was running from the fire
I was heading for the River Thames
Seeking shelter in the cooling water
Out of sight for the aliens
Heavy mothership hanging over like a shadow
Sending evil down to seal our fate
Great Big Ben
Have you struck your final hour
I was thinking this could be the end
Dead London - burning down to the crust
Dead London - raining ashes and dust
In London Town - people on the ground
Dead London - I was hoping not to be found
Had to move without a sound
It was the day we lost the crown
Piccadilly silent in the morning
No more sound from the tube at King's Cross
I met survivors by the Waterloo Station
We were joining forces to avenge our loss
I was running with a gun in the backstreets
When something came sliding fast from above
Neon slime drizzling down from
That long jawed creature
As I fired my final round
It came crashing down
And they were all around
Dead London - in the war of the worlds
Dead London - we were trapped and cursed
In London Town - going underground
Dead London - it was the
Day we lost the crown
Now we're searching for the
Truth and information
On why they came from far beyond the sun
When looking back it seems
A desperate operation
To take the Earth and then decide to run
Some say they came from a
Planet that was dying
And they knew the life of you and I
Like a movie I can still see them flying
The inferno would illuminate the sky
But they were doomed to slowly die
Dead London - rising after the fall
Dead London - rebuilding houses and halls
In London Town - bringing back
The sound of London
We had taken back the crown
We were lost and found in London Town
(London Town)
I see smiles abound
The second strike really made us realize
They had come from afar without warning
Feeding off the deaths of you and I
On the streets I was running from the fire
I was heading for the River Thames
Seeking shelter in the cooling water
Out of sight for the aliens
Heavy mothership hanging over like a shadow
Sending evil down to seal our fate
Great Big Ben
Have you struck your final hour
I was thinking this could be the end
Dead London - burning down to the crust
Dead London - raining ashes and dust
In London Town - people on the ground
Dead London - I was hoping not to be found
Had to move without a sound
It was the day we lost the crown
Piccadilly silent in the morning
No more sound from the tube at King's Cross
I met survivors by the Waterloo Station
We were joining forces to avenge our loss
I was running with a gun in the backstreets
When something came sliding fast from above
Neon slime drizzling down from
That long jawed creature
As I fired my final round
It came crashing down
And they were all around
Dead London - in the war of the worlds
Dead London - we were trapped and cursed
In London Town - going underground
Dead London - it was the
Day we lost the crown
Now we're searching for the

Dead London - rebuilding houses and halls
In London Town - bringing back
The sound of London
We had taken back the crown
We were lost and found in London Town
(London Town)
I see smiles abound
