[Verse 1]
It came up crawling from the ruins of the past
And I just can't believe my eyes
It wears the same old face, we thought was dead and gone
Forever buried by the time

[Chorus 1]
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance

[Verse 2]
It came up screaming from the ashes of the grave
To make this world a battle field
Its got a voice that steals the courage from the brave
And leaves a scar that will not heal

[Chorus 1]
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance

[Verse 3]
Don't want to hear the same old lie that spreads the fear
Only fools think its cool
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday

[Chorus 2]
Troubled times, don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times, just learn your lesson well
The party is over

[Bridge]
We must be blind not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday

[Chorus 2]
Troubled times, don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times, just learn your lesson well
The party is over

[Outro]
Unholy alliance
