Cannons Lyrics - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Troubled weather's on its way 

Tempests threaten us today 

There's no respite from long dark nights 

Just the fantasy of spring 

From the hailstones of summer 

To a scorching winter land 

A frozen death sleep, then this heat 

Beats down on this buckled land 

Flames lick closer to the core 

From city limits fireball 

And in a headless chicken run

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Race red and screaming fire engines 

Then the cannons came 

Oh 'neath the brooding sky 

Beneath its baleful eye 

The cannon shot, the cannon crack 

Disturbing night dreams 

People fled in droves 

To the lakes and to the shores 

Left behind a near ghost town 

Save the life of the cannons resounding 

Still there was no rain 

No rain, no rain, no rain 

Photos 

Once more in the line of fire 

Hovers the preying sky 

The cannons aim jabs at the eye 

Heralding the rain 

Heralding the rain 

Oh, heralding the rain 

Heralding the rain
