about

Creating a record full of anthems – songs designed to be hollered back at the band by the heaving masses - was the driving force behind Bendigo rockers Four Lions’ new album Wide Awake.

And its epic closing track Century’s War – the band’s new single - cleaves perfectly to the record’s stadium rock ethos.

Frontman Shann Lions says Century’s War had an immediate impact on audiences right from its very first live airing.

“I first played it to a crowd on a stinking hot January night at a packed St Kilda pub about two years ago,” Lions recalls.

“By the end of the song, everyone in the whole place was singing along with the ‘whoa-whoa’ part of the chorus and the outro.”

Century’s War combines the small-town lyrical romanticism of Springsteen’s Born To Run with a wall of driving guitars and expansive keys - before a mini-choir brings it home.

lyrics

Grab some things let's run away
Where we can't be found our getaway
Dye our hair in the servo's sink
No indicators on City Link
Hit a fox on our way up coast
Vixen's fed a murder of crows

Woooohh fires burning our century's war
Woooohh Stand united on century's war

Before we left I stole some plates
For petrol drive offs on holiday's
Camp somewhere near Blanket Bay
Sea foam heals our shame

Woooohh fires burning our century's war
Woooohh Stand united on century's war

You only have one life, you can't back time
You only have one life, you can't back time
You only have one life, you can't back time

Woooohh fires burning our century's war
Woooohh Stand united on century's war
Woooohh fires burning our century's war
Woooohh Stand united on century's war

Woooohh X9
