[Verse 1]
They've been waiting to show their colors
War is upon us
Among the fray a kill of brothers
The battle will never end

Walls on fire
You cannot hide

Beware, the fight has begun
Smelling gasoline
No air, they've blacked out the sun
Deadly smokescreen

[Chorus]
Shallow graves in foreign lands
Rivers of blood upon the sands
Burnt to smoldering embers
There's no escaping black September

[Verse 2]
Beware of foes turning to friends
Beyond disputed borders
The senseless bloodshed never ends
From chaos comes orders

Walls on fire
You cannot hide

There are no more battlefields
Just terror attacks
Civilians as human shields
Your planes are hijacked

[Chorus]
Shallow graves in foreign lands
Rivers of blood upon the sands
Burnt to smoldering embers
There's no escaping black September
