A Call To Arms |
| Pass the word, it’s a call to arms |
| Midnight man at your door |
| Blackened faces run in the night |
| Daybreak under the floor |
| Bring my bow |
| Fill my head with flame, and we must |
| Let them know that the torch is lit again |
| Crystalize the pain behind your eyes |
| Are you ready to fight? |
| (You hear the drum and) run for your life |
| (Sweet Avalon the heat is on) |
| In other words, I hope and pray |
| That time and tide wash the hate away |
| A simple man with simple thoughts |
| Who turned to force as a last resort |
| All around us, chaos reigns |
| Buildings crumbling down |
| Silhouettes in the fiery rain |
| Timbers crash to the ground |
| Bring my spear, invested with my youth |
| Bring the children near, they must now be told the truth |
| Old and young and those of foreign tongue |
| Are you ready to fight? |
| (You hear the drum and) run for your life |
| (Sweet Avalon the heat is on) |
| In other words, I hope and pray |
| That time and tide wash the hate away |
| A simple man with simple thoughts |
| Who turned to force as a last resort |
| In other words, I hope and pray |
| That time and tide keep the day away |
| When simple men with simple thoughts |
| Will turn to force as a last recourse |
