Lyrics
Darkened sky, oh my (darkened sky) Hear the bombers fly, so high Cities burn, the world will learn That peace is what we yearn (we yearn) Trombones slide, as hope tries to hide And trumpet calls like a warning cry Now listen near (listen near) The sirens wail in times of woe And shadows fall beneath the fear While dangers near (so near) La da da da da doom and gloom La da da da da boom boom boom As smoke it fills the sky, oh why (the sky's on fire) Soldiers march, mothers cry, goodbye (hear the choir) Through the ash, a silent prayer (silent prayer) A world in disarray, does anybody care? (do they care) Saxophones cry, a lonesome tune Piano plays a somber swoon Bass hums low, a steady pace (steady pace) To brace for impact, the human race (the human race) Dancers stop, their hearts a-pounding, frozen in a tragic pose Tapping shoes lay still, where laughter once arose [Chorus] Boom, boom, swing, let those warning bells ring Clarinets wail as the doomsday is near Horns flare up, a blaring sound (blaring sound) Our dreams in rubble, fallen to the ground Radiant glows, where roses grew Our days in paradise, now they're few (now so few) Trombones moan, this ain't no jazz thrill Instead of cheers, a silent chill
