This is an) Emergency - Blythe Pepino

Lyrics
I’m sorry my friends
I didn’t want to starveThis d you
When you were having such a fine time
But this is an emergency
Your house is all on fire
And if we do not rise up now
All this will turn to ashes
*
I’m sorry my friends
I didn’t want to trouble you
When you were having such a hard time
But this an emergency
The waters are all climbing
And so we have to rise up now
Or we will soon be drowning
*

I’m sorry my friends
That we have all been arguing
And now we’re nearly out of time
But this is an emergency
there’ll be no food for eating
and if we do not rise up now
this knife will be for fighting
*
I’m sorry my children
I didn’t want to frighten you
And this is no ghost story
This is an emergency
Our leaders have all failed us
And so we have to rise up now
And join the rebellion
*
And so we have to rise up now
And form the rebellion

These are the words sung by XRchoir. V.3
and so we have to rise up now
or this knife will be for fighting which doesn't scan
SGS sing
and if we do not rise up now
this knife will be for fighting
