[Piercy/White]



Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see

The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease 

We read it in the papers, we see it on the news 

Conditioned by the media, how can we refuse?



Sirens screaming into the night 

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see 

The twisted remains of what used to be



Everyday we run this deadly race 

Anything can happen at any time or place 

The future isn't certain, no matter what you do 

When your time has come, fate falls upon you



Sirens screaming into the night 

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see 

The twisted remains of misery



Curious people attracted to death

Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath 

Subject of interest for public view

What happened to them could've happened to you



Some people can't wait to hear it 

The disaster of the day

It makes them feel better 

While their own lives decay



Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see

The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease 

How will this affect the future in time to come?

How will they perceive us when all is said and done?



Sirens screaming into the night 

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see 

The twisted remains of what used to be



Curious people attracted to death

Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath 

Subject of interest for public view

What happened to them might happen to you
