The sound of gunfire shocked a nation   Five down, five people dead   The country wakes up after fifty 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 wakeup call      A number of coldblooded murders   Broke the silence, hear the battle cry   A country wakes up after fifty years asleep   And they're looking through halfway open eyes      Blood on the ground   There's a new war running   Blood on the ground   The curtain falls   1999 the wakeup call      Blood on the ground   There's a new war running   Blood on the ground   The curtain falls      Blood on the ground   There's a new war running   Blood on the ground   The curtain falls   1999 the wakeup call
