Down from the sky came the battle cry
Live and die by the sword
Out from the flames
Came the sons of the slain
Nothing would ever be the same

They stand and fight
To the sound of the drums
Run for your life cause the children
Are going to go to war

We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
Down in the city
We don’t need a reason

Far from the sound of the battle ground
Fighting fire with fire
Rise from the flames, all you ready to die
No-one wins at the end

They stand alone till the preaching is done
Stand your ground – Cause the children
Are going to go to war

We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
Down in the city
Cause the children are going to go to war

We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
We don’t need a reason
Down in the city
Cause the children are going to go to war
