The sound of gunfire shocked a nation
Five down, five people dead
The country wakes up after fifty 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 battle cry
A country wakes up after fifty years asleep
And they're looking through halfway open eyes

Blood on the ground
There's a new war running
Blood on the ground
The curtain falls
1999 the wakeup call

Blood on the ground
There's a new war running
Blood on the ground
The curtain falls

Blood on the ground
There's a new war running
Blood on the ground
The curtain falls
1999 the wakeup call
