lyrics

Hear the drones above your head
What were the last words that she said
Before she joined the thousands dead
As the bombs rain down

See the fire in the sky
Hear all of the children cry
The tower falls from way up high
As the bombs rain down

See the dust rise everywhere
Once it was a building there
Then it crashed down from the air
As the bombs rain down

Twisted bodies all around
The never-ending buzzing sound
The earthquake shaking all the ground
As the bombs rain down

Shattered camps of refugees
Necklaces of ancient keys
Smell the burning olive trees
As the bombs rain down

See the homes, apartment blocks
See the mosques reduced to rocks
Feel the awe and feel the shock
As the bombs rain down

See the sewage in the street
Mixed with blood beneath your feet
Before the sonic boom repeats
As the bombs rain down

See the darkness of the night
No power for the lights
But the explosions are so bright
As the bombs rain down

Nothing left but rubble strewn
Nothing rising but the moon
But the next one’s coming soon
As the bombs rain down

Hear the politicians say
There’s nothing here to see today
We’re punishing Hamas this way
As the bombs rain down
