"You Can't Run Faster Than Bullets" lyrics - MAGNUM

Look hard can you see Jacob's ladder
Get ready to make your escape
And what you believe doesn't matter
Get running there's no give and take

Earth shakes and the boom's getting louder
No birds in the sky, disappeared
While faces in fear they surround her
Get lost in that dark atmosphere

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
There's no time for reason
There's no freedom here

[Chorus:]
You hear the cry, sweet mother mild
Can't save them all, but you can try
Don't sleep tonight, play hide and seek
It's not a game, no-one can speak
And it's so cold, where's God tonight?
Well there's no food, no appetite
You hear the cry, sweet mother mild
You'd give your life for any child

[Bridge:]
Well you can't run faster than bullets
No stopping that noise overhead
Dawn's agony hangs like a puppet
And everything turns bloody red

The shadows have turned into ashes
Wild flowers refusing to grow
No tombstone to say he who passes
There's no goodbye there's no hello

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Full moon lights the darkness
Everyone is laid low

[Chorus 2x]
You hear the cry, sweet mother mild
Can't save them all, but you can try
Don't sleep tonight, play hide and seek
It's not a game, no-one can speak
And it's so cold, where's God tonight?
Well there's no food, no appetite
You hear the cry, sweet mother mild
You'd give your life for any child
