INVASION
Anno: 1984

They came across the border, in the middle of the night
It looks much worse, in the cold daylight
There's hundreds of tanks, and thousands of men
And helicopters buzzing right above your head
Chorus:
Oh no, it's an invasion, invasion
Oh no, it's an invasion, invasion
They're moving out of cities, they're moving out of towns
If you're caught resisting, you're quickly mown down
Everybody's running, but they don't know where
So long as they escape, well, they just don't care
(Chorus)
You can't understand, why they murder your land
But you can't fight a tank with a stick
And you want to fight back, but the future is black
And the killing is making you sick
The tanks pass by, in a never ending line
Not a man or a woman is spared
And then you wonder why, no help does arrive
The world doesn't seem to be cared
You've formed a small resistance, you've got a few guns
You plan a small ambush, but you end up on the run
You're running through the foothills, but you'll never make your cave
You're just another rebel in an unmarked grave
(Chorus)
We Look to The East
We've thought of it with fear
For terror filled years
It reigns by shedding bloods
Would engulf us if it could
Chorus:
We keep on looking to the East
Can't you see the red flag of the beast
We keep on looking to the East
Would you dine with the devil at his feast
Come on you men of the West now
It's got its people everywhere
They're planning in their lairs
Spreading poison in our lands
To deliver us to its hands
(Chorus)
We've got to stamp it out soon
Before it brings our nation's doom
Ideals should never bend
To ensure the traitor's ends
(Chorus)
It looks much worse, in the cold daylight
There's hundreds of tanks, and thousands of men
And helicopters buzzing right above your head
Chorus:
Oh no, it's an invasion, invasion
Oh no, it's an invasion, invasion
They're moving out of cities, they're moving out of towns
If you're caught resisting, you're quickly mown down
Everybody's running, but they don't know where
So long as they escape, well, they just don't care
(Chorus)
You can't understand, why they murder your land
But you can't fight a tank with a stick
And you want to fight back, but the future is black
And the killing is making you sick
The tanks pass by, in a never ending line
Not a man or a woman is spared
And then you wonder why, no help does arrive
The world doesn't seem to be cared
You've formed a small resistance, you've got a few guns
You plan a small ambush, but you end up on the run
You're running through the foothills, but you'll never make your cave
You're just another rebel in an unmarked grave
(Chorus)
We Look to The East
We've thought of it with fear
For terror filled years
It reigns by shedding bloods
Would engulf us if it could
Chorus:

Can't you see the red flag of the beast
We keep on looking to the East

Before it brings our nation's doom
