[instrumental] [singer B] Yeah… Sky turn red, radios panic Jersey to the city, something landed You hear that horn? Run. Tripods in the static, skyline gone tragic Heat ray flashin’, whole world go frantic Sirens in the distance, hope feel plastic Three legs movin’, yeah the future look savage Tripods in the static, ash in the air Crowds runnin’ wild but they don’t go nowhere From the ground to the stars, invasion declared 2005 nightmares, yeah we all scared [singer B] Look to the sky, see the clouds unzip Metal giants take the world by the grip Every step make the whole earth dip Three legs, one goal — apocalypse Basements, ferries, runnin’ through the rain Kids too quiet, adults insane Military roll but it don’t mean a thing Missiles bounce off like it’s part of the game Tripods drinkin’ life like fuel Planet Earth just livestock rules Cameras shake, world feel cruel End times playin’ on the evening news [melodic transition] [singer B] If this is it, then remember our names We loved, we ran, we burned, we prayed From the ashes maybe something remains Even giants fall… to the smallest change Plot twist hidden in the bloodstream Micro life bring the aliens to knees What we ignore end up savin’ the scene Smallest things break the war machine Tripods stumble, horns go quiet World still broken but we survived it Cities scarred but the sun still rises Hope limpin’ forward, bruised but defiant [singer B] Tripods in the static, legend engraved From thunder in the ground to the lives we saved Whole world shook but we still remain 2005 etched in cinematic pain Tripods in the static, remember that sound When the sky fell down and fear ran the town End of the world, still hear it now Three legs stompin’ when the beat pound [transition] [singer B] Listen close… If the ground starts hummin’ again… Run.
