lyrics

It was February 2nd 1943
The escape seemed to be affective
The grasslands of the island nation of Polynesia offered cover from the enemies that slaughtered my people
I was on the lamb the republican guard seemed to be a distant memory
I had made it to day 47 when I happen to stumble upon a remote village that seemed unaffected
Settling into a routine all the horrors inflicted by the guard seemed to be a thing of the past
soon enough our safety was compromised and we were forced to fight for our lives
on that fateful day in 1943....

In the village I found
they protect me with sounds
ear drums point and shoot
at those who intrude

I am a dissected insect
a bleeding vesseled ship
I am sick and shipwrecked
my insides are so stripped

In the village I found
they protect me with sounds
ear drums point and shoot
at those who intrude

In the distance I hear a sound
they're approaching making ground

Fire cannon fire eardrums
Fire cannon fire eardrums
Fire cannon fire ear DRUM

What do you want from me
What do you want from us
