It came without warning   You never had a chance to know   The burning steel hatred   It came through with a lasting blow      Watch the fire burn   You can feel it from here   All around the city   It still brings us fear      There is no excuse for this   These games they play   Taking those just like you   Every single day      Watch the fire burn   You can feel it from here   All around the city   It still brings us fear    We’re on the way down   But I know we can survive   We can’t let this beat us   But I know we can survive      On the urban fronts   These stupid wars go on   The price is always the same   Taking pride in taking someone      Watch the fire burn   You can feel it from here   All around the city   It still brings us fear   We’re on the way down   But I know we can survive   We can’t let this beat us   But I know we can survive
