Hit the Ground

Wailing Banshee

I can still hear the sound of panic
The metre crashes free-falling
Feel the thrill of the gamble
The numbers called keep on building

Oh know the time
Know the place
A world that is lost in disgrace
Built on fear
Can’t you hear the cries?

Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The lies that I speak they do not make a sound
Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The promise I bring will keep us both bound

A city cries at their loss
Can’t you see we wrote the cost?
Will we be punished for our sins?
Another bail out
Another bank begins

Oh know the time
Know the place
Machine that is built in its place
Still the same
Never changed all these years

Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The lies that I speak they do not make a sound
Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The promise I bring will keep us both bound

Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The lies that I speak they do not make a sound
Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The trail that I write it will never be found

Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The more that you sell the bigger the round
Hit the ground
Hit the ground
The promise I bring will keep us both bound
