Lyrics Armageddon In The Morning - The Alarm

Armageddon In The Morning

While you were stealing from your office job
The bomb went off and you could not stop it
We fight for land and not for peace, to give away, and not for profit
Is this a way of life or not?
Either way, it’s all that we’ve got
My eyes stole my innocence and now I don’t know why
I still want more of the same, mone of the hurt and more of the pain
Is this what drives me to pursue, the seconds of joy that stick like glue
To the strings that I strum for you
To get away or to return
To the only place I’ve ever come from
To the left, to the right
No longer knowing what the difference was
To the East, to the West
Between the good things that we’ve got
And the failure to recognise what we’ve lost
It’s Armageddon in the morning
When you were picking up the playing cards, what were you doing it for?
A crisis came, went and came again, a virus in the congregation
Have you ever stood up to be counted on?
Or is it the others you depend upon?
To the right, to the right
If you can’t see me, I can’t see you
To the West, to the East
If that’s what you think, you don’t know me
You don’t know me at all
It’s Armageddon in the morning
Armageddon in the morning
Killers and poets write their names in the press
That feed off the crumbs of society’s dregs
We all go down with the ship, we all get burned in the same fire
To the left, to the right
At 23, I was clinging on
To the East, to the West
At 58 and I still want more
Yes, I still want more
It’s Armageddon in the morning
I saw a plane falling through the sky, a tailpiece down on the ground
Kids staring from a school bus window, wondering what’s going down
I’m just a passenger up in the sky
The last I heard the seat belt sign was turned on, it said
To the left, to the right
Anyway, anyhow
To the East, to the West
Any day, any time
We’re all going to die
It’s Armageddon in the morning
I was looking from the mountainside, I could see the horizon burning
I was looking right into your eyes, and I knew the tables were turning
Some people want to live in this world
Some people want to die in the next
To the left, to the right
There’s got to be a reason
To the East, to the West
There’s got to be an answer
It can’t all have just been for nothing
It’s Armageddon in the morning
Armageddon in the morning
Through the battle, I will carry you
Through the battle, I will carry you
Through the battle, I will carry you
Through the battle, I will carry you
