Rumours arrived as they sat at the feast
Of the army that comes from the east
Burning each village and town
The temple bell sounds the alarmInvasion x 3Look out it?s happening right now
Knock on the door in the night nowFires on the hillside surrounding the town
Fires and night coming down like a blanket
And fear at the gate
And there¹s nothing to do, but waitDanger x 3Look out it?s happening right now
Knock on the door in the night nowBlood on the paving stones, blood on the walls
As the city of wisdom falls
Conquering squadrons march in
With banners the colour of sinDarkness x 3Look out it?s happening right now
Knock on the door in the night nowSome old men grab all the books that are in sight
Then escape into the night
Carrying their truth far away
You can see them still running todayFreedom x 3Look out it¹s happening right now
Knock on the door in the night now
