The Alarm

Newtown Jericho

The Alarm


See them run
Like characters in paintings
Turners frightening 'scapes
Industrial inside a nation of no escape
There's no escape in my frightened face
As we run run run
And turn to stone 

Oh lord hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a newtown jericho
Oh lord the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a newtown jericho 

See them fall
The rebecca ride at dawn
Petticoat ghost and tom
Working to reclaim the land for no reward
There's no reward my daughters of dawn
As we run run run
And turn to stone 

Oh lord hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a newtown jericho
Oh lord the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a newtown jericho 

I've been down amongst the crying there
Upon my knees I'm dying
And polsen dragged across the city walls
Upon a wooden horse 

Horse 

Horse 

Horse 

This is jericho 

Oh lord hear me now
The fanfare sounds in a newtown jericho
Oh lord the wailing sound
Of helpless souls in a newtown jericho 

Jericho, jericho
Jericho, jericho
Jericho, jericho
Jericho, jericho 

Oh lord
