Jericho Siren Lyrics

Out of the sky came the sound of thunder
Hiding the sun from your sight
Remember the screams of the Jericho siren
Howling like wolves in the night

Attack! They are coming with the dawn
Attack! Your city's going to fall
Jericho siren
Jericho siren

Run for your lives run with the refugee
They're pounding you blow after blow
Your country is burning the screams of humanity
Rise from ashes below

Attack! They are coming with the dawn
Attack! Your city's going to fall
Jericho siren
Jericho siren

Jericho siren
Jericho siren

Out of the sky came the sound of thunder
Hiding the sun from your sight
Remember the screams of the Jericho siren
Howling like wolves in the night

Attack! They are coming with the dawn
Attack! Your city's going to fall
Jericho siren
Jericho siren

Jericho siren
Jericho siren

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In an interview with Biff Byford, he said that the song is inspired by Stuka bombers during World War 2 which had sirens fitted to them to make a terrifying noise. It's actually about the bombing of Poland, the invasion of which by Adolf Hitler on September 1, 1939, led to an ultimatum by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, and when that was not complied with, the two countries were at war.
