Hello, dark- and light-skinned men I've come to talk with you as friends Because division's swiftly breeding And it leaves our loved ones bleeding And the crimson blood that ran red in their veins Spills the same When there's the sound of sirens Arrests are made and rocks are thrown Terror seeks out troubled souls We need the Savior of every man He'll turn our colors into gold in His hands But our eyes are set on the flesh so we see our fight In black and white And thus the sound of sirens And on the news tonight I saw Just how the people hate the law People shot dead without blinking People speaking without thinking People righting wrongs with force instead of prayer And no one's spared It stirs the sound of sirens Fools that riot do not know Satan's quite a clever foe Hear the Word or he might beat you Take up arms and he might eat you But the verse Ephesians 6 verse 12
It echoes in the wails of sirens And if people now will pray And believe on God, He'll save And you'll find that vow of this sure thing In Second Chronicles 7:14 And besides that the words of Colossians 3:11 from St. Paul Will settle it all When His word ends the sound -- of sirens
