Lyrics

[Intro]
I was on a train that derailed in Dekalb
Just a kid but I remember the sound
Of it all breaking down as we all went down
[Verse 1]
First the metal squealed as the car jumped the track
Windows exploded the seams
Then the scene filled with screams
Yeah, the scene filled with screams
[Verse 2]
Back in present day, I see a face in the crowd
There's a gun and he's pulling it out
Just a moment to shout, the world falls down
[Verse 3]
Time slips away as the night jumps the track
When the murderer turns to me
And he sees what I've seen
Turns to me and he screams
[Verse 4]
It was the Warriors, the Warriors!
The Warriors shot Cyrus
No, I didn't do this, I'd never do this!
Didn't you see them?
Yeah, I know I seen 'em!
[Verse 5]
The Warriors
I don't see a way to escape from the crowd
The Warriors shot Cyrus!
They shout, I shout, I stand my ground
Cyrus, Cyrus
Look around, I'm surrounded
Cyrus, Cyrus
I drown in the shots and the shouts as the world falls down
Warriors, get away from the crowd, make your way downtown
[Verse 6]
Cyrus goes down
Gotta find a way to escape from the crowd
Stay down, stay down!
Go the other way or there's no getting out
Stay down, stay down!
There's a broken gate at the edge of the playground
Everybody stay down, everybody stay down
Cyrus is gone
Make a little space at the break in the gate now
Yo! Punch your fuckin' way through the gate till it breaks down
Who will save us now?
Gotta make a way when there's no other way out
[Verse 7]
Freeze, police! Alright boys, take 'em out!
Cyrus, Cyrus
Sirens surround, do you hear that sound?
Now every move that we make is a bid to survive, keep us alive
When you woke up today, you didn't think you could die, neither did I
Sirens, sirens
Woodlawn Cemetery, way up the hill
I don't love runnin'
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill
I guess we're runnin'
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill
Or it's the graveyard, or it's the graveyard
[Outro]
Warriors, come out to play-ay-yay-yay-yay
Warriors, come out to play-ay-yay-yay-yay
