Taken by Force Songtext
von Civic

The eastern sun, it burns so bright
As we look for shade from an evil light
Eternity fits like a glove
No call for forgiveness from up above
Sifting through ashes, a funeral pyre
No call to return, I′m a bird on the wire
Blood on your knuckles, under your chin
While praying for God, oh, Father, I have sinned

The enemy strikes, the flags set alight
It's all for the taking in the cover of night
The big door slams, it′s par for the course
Taken by force


Six-gun salute, oh baby, here come the reds
The cat got fat, so it's off with their heads
I welcome New China, the communist dream
No room for the West under new regime
Won't read it in the papers, there was no sign
It′s right there in front of you on enemy lines
No need to be sad, no need to be upset
At least I can afford a pack of cigarettes

The enemy strikes, the flags set alight
It′s all for the taking in the cover of night
The big door slams, it's par for the course
Taken by force

The eastern sun, it burns so bright
As we look for shade from an evil light
Eternity fits like a glove
No call for forgiveness from up above
Sifting through ashes, a funeral pyre
No call to return, I′m a bird on the wire
Blood on your knuckles, under your chin
While praying for God, oh, Father, I have sinned

The enemy strikes, the flags set alight
It's all for the taking in the cover of night
The big door slams, it′s par for the course
The enemy strikes, the flags set alight
It's all for the taking in the cover of night
The big door slams, it′s par for the course
Taken by force
