Song Description

Uncertainty about the future

Lyrics

Call to Arms

When things fall apart
There's no going back
No humpty dumpty
To put back on the track

When the air is dust
And the water is mud
The earth turns to fire
The fire becomes a flood

Help will come too late
If it comes at all
And when it finally does
It can only stall

Someone cried in the darkness
Someone peed in the well
But there's no one here now
Just a rotting smell

Chorus:
There's a fire in the furnace
There's a log in the lake
I've a real bad feeling
I just can't seem to shake
There's no moon in the sky
On a cloudless night
There's a fierce call to arms
But there's no one to fight

Twice before it was close
Twice before we lucked out
But the third time's the charm
Our luck may have run out

It would've been so much simpler
In much simple-er times
It could've been so much worse
But there weren't any rhymes

People flee through the daylight
People hide in the night
But they hide from themselves
And their hopeless plight

There's a bird in the sky
The first one in a week
There's a rat in the wreakage
With puffed out cheeks

Chorus

It's a call to arms

I've no hope in my heart
I've no fire in my gut
I've no need to stay quiet
But I keep my mouth shut

There's no wind in the willows
There are green eggs but no ham
Nothing left from my childhood
But no sense of who I am

Take your family and flee here
Take your last few dreams
Put your hands on your ears
So you won't hear the screams

Chorus (2X)
