The sound of gunfire shocked a nation
  Five down, five people dead
  The country wakes up after 50 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 battlecry
  A country wakes up after 50 years asleep
  And they're looking thru halfway open eyes
