Sound the Alarm
This is for real
Reveille when the band starts playing
There's no way you're coming home
So get used to being gone
You wore out your worn-out welcome
And now you dance to a different drum
So pack your bags and get on the bus
Not one of them and you're sure not one of us
Sound the alarm
My friend is coming home
Too many years since you've been gone
Face the facts
Whatever happens next
Will be the ultimate test
I remember another time
When you were so innocent
Same as any other guy
But now you seem so different
Cold eyes a thousand yards
You were hard and you bled for a cause
Cold eyes in a thousand years
I can't imagine where you've gone
Sound the alarm
My friend is coming home
Too many years since you've been gone
Face the facts
Whatever happens next
Will be the ultimate test
And I know you burn inside
And I know the truth behind the lie
And I know your world is torn apart
And I know how hard you tried
And I know the part of you that died
And I know how far you have to come... go
Back In Black was our favorite track
Peeling off down a one lane highway
Nothing to lose heading for the future
Nowhere to go but we couldn't stay
We were young we were so naïve
We had a dream that we lived to follow
Looking back I can see you now
Till you went yours and I went my way
Sound the alarm
My friend is coming home
Too many years since you've been gone
Face the facts
Whatever happens next
Will be the ultimate test
Will be the ultimate test
(You went yours and I went my way)
Will be the ultimate test
(You went yours and I went my way)
Will be the ultimate test
(You went yours and I went my way)
Will be the ultimate test
