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 wake up call
A number of coldblooded murders
Broke the silence hear the battle cry
A country wakes up after 50 years asleep
And they're looking through halfway open eyes
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 wake up call
A number of coldblooded murders
Broke the silence hear the battle cry
A country wakes up after 50 years asleep
And they're looking through halfway open eyes
