It was a cool winter's morning
A wink shortly past 9 am
The only car they wanted for the heist wasn't coming
So instead they went for the bank

The fateful duo that sat in the getaway car
The police sedated with thousands of miles
Armor piercing for the automatic weapons
The police arrived torn out on the ground

Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell is breaking loose
Outgunned, watching the porch
Drawn to a firefight with a pocketknife
There was (?) until they saw an Achilles Heel
And it brought down the beast

This was an accident waiting to happen
It wasn't if it was happening, it was when
The city's people sabotaged themselves
Caught in the firepower and the expense

The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped
The standard police issued guns were just not enough
But SWAT arrived to settle the fight
Between AK-47 and AR-15

Baptized in a firefight
Hot blood running cold as ice
44 minutes of target practice
All hell is breaking loose
Outgunned, watching the porch
Drawn to a firefight with a pocketknife
There was (?) until they saw an Achilles Heel
And it brought down the beast
