Eleventh Hour Dispatch Protocol
This has not been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
WEEEEEE WOOOOO WEEEEE WOOOO
What does this siren even mean to you?
Have half of you already run out of your homes?
Have you fixed your eyes on the skies searching for the news?
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
Is anyone even listening on this wave length anymore?
Does this still play on the PAs in the store?
This is the same system you have been likely desensitized to since 1964.
WEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOO
Dogs howling every Wednesday at noon.
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
This is the activation of the Civil Defense against itself.
WEEEEEEE WOOOOOOO WEEEEEE WOOOO
Do any of you even have a radio?
This is the activation of the Defense of Civilians themselves.
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
The best course of action, you will dictate for yourselves anyway.
It is the hope of this System, that you take shelter or seek shelter.
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System
This is a harbinger of all the Eleventh Hour has to offer.
The considerations and recommendations for safety is all we proffer
WEEEEE WOOO WEEEE WOOOOO
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
If you are outside the weather may take you from this plane.
If you are outside the radar indicates ICE storms all over the country.
If you are outside maybe stay there it might be better.
Let's be honest.
WEEEEE WOOO WEEEEEE WOOOO
This is not a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Your life, the lives of your neighbors, family, and friends are in danger
WEEEEEE WOOOOO WEEEEEE WOOOOO
Dear Civilians desensitized to these warnings for decades
Muted on phones, radios and TVs for years.
Lost only to perpetuity and the droning on of time.
I guess we will see you on the other side of this.
Godspeed and best of luck to you.
WEEEEE WOOOOOO WEEEEEEE WOOOOOO
This has not been a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
