[instrumental] [singer B] Yeah… Static on the radio, storm in the sky Something in the clouds and it’s drifting nearby Sirens in the distance, everybody lookin high Then the ground split open yeah the truth don’t lie [Verse 1] Clouds roll black like a curtain on a stage Lightning crack loud now the whole world’s amazed Streetlight flicker then the asphalt shake From the earth rise giants like a nightmare awake Metal legs stompin every step earthquake HeatRays flashin got the whole town break Phones don’t work news feed gone blank People run fast but the roads all jammed Tripods tower like a skyline alive Cold machine eyes scanning who survives Engines hum low like thunder in the ground Every heartbeat match the terror in the sound [Pre Chorus] Look to the sky but the sky look back Three long shadows through the storm so black Nobody ready when the world get cracked Alien march and they never hold back [Chorus] Tripods in the sky red light glow Running through the city while the sirens all blow Boom step boom hear the metal legs go HeatRays burning with a dangerous glow Tripods in the sky clouds turn gray Human race fighting just to see one more day From the ashes we rise we survive we stay When the aliens came and tried to take our day [Verse 2] Dust in the air helicopters fly low Searchlights sweep through the smoke and the glow Tank lines roll but the machines don’t care HeatRays flash leave a silence in the air But deep underground in the subway light People hold hope through the longest night Kids look up ask is it ever gonna end Mama say softly we survive my friend Every empire fall every monster fade Even iron giants got a weakness made Tiny unseen things in the air we breathe Turn the tide slow like a trick up the sleeve [Pre Chorus] Look to the sky but the sky look back Three long shadows through the storm so black Nobody ready when the world get cracked Alien march and they never hold back [Chorus] Tripods in the sky red light glow Running through the city while the sirens all blow Boom step boom hear the metal legs go HeatRays burning with a dangerous glow Tripods in the sky clouds turn gray Human race fighting just to see one more day From the ashes we rise we survive we stay And the world stood strong through the alien fray [outro] Storm clears slow silence in the street Giant metal shadows finally face defeat History remember when the sky turned wild And the world stood strong every woman every child
