Surround Sound Suicide Lyrics

Temperatures are rising
the casualties are climbing
theres a row of body bags
from here to the horizon
shallow graves are dug
rest your head here my love
i'm right beside you i'm right here

waiting for the call
but it hasn't happened yet
no it hasn't happened yet
one man set the stage
some folk get the hourly wage
the whole world stopped to turn a page

i'm taking you hostage
you've already lost it
i've seen this before
i'm not watching you die
in this surround sound suicide

we sign them up when they turn 18
they were young men once now they're just a dream
just a memory... fading fast
we told them all that it was time to go
to fight a war freedom for all
for god, our land, our home
no no they're not going home

i'm taking you hostage
you've already lost this
i've seen it before
i'm not watching you die
in this surround sound suicide

in this surround sound suicide

i'm taking you hostage
you've already lost this
i've seen it before
i'm not watching you die
in this surround sound suicide

shallow graves are dug
rest your head here my love
i'm right beside you i'm right here
send this song to my love
before my grave is dug
i'll wait behind, i'll stay right here
