Rumbles you hear
May still sound so feint
The smell of the smoke
May still be restrained

Everyone goes
About their own way
Nothing to see
Still nothing to say

But you know
Something’s wrong

The cracks in the sidewalk are the first signs you should get away

Can you make out
The sound of the roar
The louder it gets
The closer to war

It darkens the sky
And tramples the ground
No one is safe
When it comes to town

Got to get out
While the getting’s still good

The cracks in the sidewalk are the first signs you should get away
The cracks in the sidewalk are telling you to leave today

You don’t wanna see
Trouble with a capital T
The hour is close at hand
Judgement day for all of man

Destruction and death
Are coming for you
You know it’s time
And what to do

The cracks in the sidewalk are the first signs you should get away
The cracks in the sidewalk are telling you to leave today
The cracks in the sidewalk are the warnings you should get away
The cracks in the sidewalk say Godzilla’s coming this way

10/8 (3+3+2+2) intro/verse. nice contrast v-chorus, and the chorus metaphors work really well. fab gtrs in the 3rd verse, and like how they fade out. love this texture. I kinda want a quick flash of the opening riff to end it on, cause the chorus lacks the energy for a strong ending.
