about

The third single released from 'Second Story'. One of the more political tracks in Jimmi's catalogue

lyrics

Raise the flags and light them fires on the hills.
Looks like it’s hanging time again
Salute your chosen god; he’s flying to the sun.
The blood will rain on everyone

Ah-ah..

And the waters they will rise.
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more

Behind the walls, the golden future of your dreams.
Oh how that golden city gleams
Salute your chosen god; he’s lying on the beach. Y
our chosen gods are out of reach

Ah-ah

And the waters they will rise.
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more

And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve sailed this dirty sea.
Your dirty dreams are coming true
And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
Oh how we wait with open arms

(Bridge section)
Ah-ah etc..

And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve sailed this dirty sea.
Your dirty dreams are coming true And when the walls come down, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve made this dirty dream. Your dirty dreams are coming true
Ah-ah-ah x 2
Oh how we wait with open arms

Raise the flags and light them fires on the hills.
Looks like it’s hanging time again
Salute your chosen god; he’s flying to the sun.
The blood will rain on everyone

Ah-ah..

And the waters they will rise
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more
