The Lightning Raid

Patrols on guard
and dogs everywhere
we searched the caves and coves
but the sniper's still out there

the rain splatters us
as the sirens begin to sound
the island is in danger
their planes are shadows in the sky

they're here to take it
take it away
they're gonna land on our shores
as the storm rages on
its a lightning raid

the AA guns go off
though they're destroyed
we watch as they their planes
mercilessly mow our defenses down

the paratroopers land
illuminated by the lightning
they advance towards the Lab
as we tighten up the defenses

they're here to take it
take it away
they're gonna land on our shores
as the storm rages on
its a lightning raid

we repel the attacks
as we radio in for support
the storm cools down
as their reinforcements begin to arrive

the Lab goes up in smoke
and so do most of the defendants
the secret is safe with me though
as I run to the secret passage

they're here to take it
take it away
they're gonna land on our shores
as the storm rages on
its a lightning raid

Survival is so close
just have to break open this door
what's this? the door's unlocked
this could only mean one thing
(sound of door swinging open. then a gunshot)

they're here to take it
take it away
they're gonna land on our shores
as the storm rages on
its a lightning raid
