Sound the Alarm Lyrics by Booker T. Jones

Sound the Alarm

2013

[Intro:]
As you know, ladies and gentlemen--
Need no introduction--
Mr. Booker T
Let's give him a big round of applause on organ
[Verse 1:]
Like a million soldiers
You know you can’t break me
Can you feel the rumble
Up under your feet?
I can walk on water
Get down on your knees
I keep on marching, keep on marching
I can make it rain, I can call on thunder
Make a strong man weak
Oh, I make you wonder
I can feel the fire burnin’ down in me
I keep on marching, I keep on marching
[Chorus:]
Sound the alarm
Oh I’m coming
Sound the alarm
Oh I’m coming
Sound the alarm
Oh I’m coming
Sound the alarm
Oh I’m coming
[Verse 2:]
Like a dead man walking
And I’mma keep on stomping
Say you mine for gold?
Oh, well I mine for souls
I can feel the fire burnin’ down in me
I keep on marching, I keep on marching
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
I’m like a million soldiers
Can you feel the rumble?
I can walk on water
I can walk on water
I can feel the fire burnin’ down in me
I keep on marching
I keep on marching
I keep on marching
[Chorus] (2x)
