Strum
D-DU-UDU
Nine  hours passed and how long will it last
 says the man  with the plan and a gun  in his hand.
 He's scared  but prepared it might be as he feared
 are they still  in control, and  safe behind the wall.
 This evening's  too quiet, oh we need a real riot
 to shake  and to break and to bite  like a snake.
 We're stuck  in this attic so bored and so static,
 tomorrow  they'll ask us to throw off our masks.
 But the storm  is a'coming 'cross the hills  tonight,
 like a vein  full of rain  to the hearts  that should fight.
 The storm  is a'coming 'cross the hills  tonight,
 like a vein  full of rain  to the hearts  that should fight.
 Mary's  like me she's a loser to be,
 got a lock  on her door and a bed  on the floor.
 They will know  they will win and then they'll come in.
 There's nothing  you could say to lead  them astray.
 We still  live in silence like sworn threats of violence.
 I long  for an end and it's coming  round the bend.
 If we live  through this night and we'd still be all right.
 We'd flee  to Siam or a bar  in Amsterdam.
  But the storm  is a'coming 'cross the hills  tonight,
  like a vein  full of rain  to the hearts  that should fight.
  The storm  is a'coming 'cross the hills  tonight,
  like a vein  full of rain  to the hearts  that should fight.
