Derailed

I was on a train that derailed in DeKalb
Just a kid but I remember the sound
Of it all breaking down as we all went down
First the metal squealed as the car jumped the track
Windows exploded the seams
Then the scene filled with screams
Yeah, the scene filled with screams

Back in present day, I see a face in the crowd
There's a gun and he's pulling it out
Just a moment to shout
The world falls down

Time slips away as the night jumps the track
When the murderer turns to me
And he sees what I've seen
Turns to me ... and he screams

It was the Warriors! The Warriors! The Warriors shot Cyrus
No, I didn't do this! I'd never do this!
Didn't you see them?
Yeah, I know I seen 'em! (The Warriors!)
I don't see a way to escape from the crowd
The Warriors shot Cyrus!
They shout, I shout, I stand my ground (Cyrus! Cyrus!)
Look around
Cyrus! Cyrus!
I'm surrounded, I drown in the shots and the shouts as the world falls down

Warriors! Get away from the crowd!
Make your way downtown (Cyrus goes down)
Gotta find a way to escape from the crowd! (Who will save us now?)
Stay down! Stay down! Stay down! Stay down! (Cyrus, Cyrus)
(Go the other way or there's no getting out!)
(Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!)

There's a broken gate at the edge of the playground
(Get out! Stay down! Everybody stay down)
(Get out, stay down! Everybody stay down) (Cyrus is gone)
Make a little space at the break in the gate now (who will save us now?)
Yo! Punch your – way through the gate 'til it breaks down (Cyrus, Cyrus)
Gotta make a way when there's no other way out

Freeze! Police!
Alright boys, take 'em out! (Yo, whoo, yo, whoo)
(Sirens surround, do you hear that sound?) (Cyrus, Cyrus)
(Sirens, sirens)

Now every move that we make is a bid to survive
Keep us alive
When you woke up today you didn't think you could die
Neither did I (Cyrus, Cyrus)

Woodlawn Cemetery way up the hill (I don't love runnin')
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill (I guess we're runnin', whoa!)
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill!
Or it's the graveyard, or it's the graveyard!

Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay
Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay!
