lyrics

Ring the alarms (N. Lavalier)
Fire claiming all in sight7
The strong the weak the crippled and the insane
The wise men and the fools
Ring the alarms. The devil gets the best tunes.
What is left here to defend
Fury’s being fed again but on what
Reduces to cinders
Ring the death bell. The devil gets the best tunes.
451 degrees. It won’t stop til it sees the death of me
Get everyone, get everyone.
Sort the simple from the hard
Playing on the devil’s cards you can’t win
But thank you for playing
Now step to the bow. The devil gets the best tunes.
Chicago London and NY
Never burned so intense or so long
Everyone, get everyone.
What’s the point in running from
Your bones will get picked over into dust,
Ashes and embers
Ring the alarms. The devil gets the best tunes.

They got it all so when these boys are randy to rock, you better let 'em. ... more
