Young Saver - Knocked Down Lyrics

It came at night, nobody was prepared
Twelve fifty-four, instructions undeclared
Pick up your things, as if they even matter now
We're leaving town by firelight, we'll be gone by dawn

Knocked down, without a sound

We're running and trying to breathe and keep going
But darkness is choking, too many to save now
The fire is growing and taking our homes and our children
And I can do nothing about it

Their mobiles speak last words of grief and of solace
Nobody is here but the dead and the lawless
Please stay put, don't leave us, we promise to listen
Your call is important to us and morticians

It came at night, nobody was prepared
Twelve fifty-four, they're prisoners of war
Pick up your things and leave this place and run away
Back out the door, we don't want you here any more

I'm reaching, I'm grabbing, I'm pulling, I'm screaming
You're crying and crying but I can't hold on now
The fire is raging and taking their homes and their babies
And I can do nothing about it

And when the smoke clears and the fire has died down
We'll wake up and realise that it is all over

I notice the sunrise on this Wednesday morning
We go back to bed and forget it all happened
