But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being
Nor can the dead ever be brought back to life

Warnings of an airstrike
The sirens scream out loud
Warnings on the radio
Of what's coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from overseas
Planes on the horizon
Cast shadows on the ground

Bringers of destruction
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon with
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling

AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run for cover, you'll be quick or be dead

Burn, burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn, burn
Death from above
Die, die
Merciless killing
Burn, burn
Death from above

Carpet-bombing cities
And grinding them to dust
Able men and women
Will all be victims
Everyone will suffer
In the wake of their attack
Bombers show no mercy
A land in ruin

Homes are turned to rubble
When the airstrike has been approved
Facing their destruction
Fear the black wings of death

Burn, burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn, burn
Death from above
Die, die
Merciless killing
Burn, burn

Nothing remains
Cities ruined, turned to dust
All has been lost
Rise from the ashes and strike

AA guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run for cover, you'll be quick or be dead

Burn, burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn, burn
Death from above
Die, die
Merciless killing
Burn, burn
Death from above

    Nothing specific, but i think it's about the bombing raids in WW2, mostly between Germany and the UK.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
