A Call To Arms

You'll be the sun and I'll go down -
I'll be the fool and you the crown;
I'll paint the world in black and white
to show you: Something isn't right.
The path we're going might not end
those wounds we're growing will not mend
for after all, and in the end
we're going down, we're going
down.

This is a call to arms,
this is a battle-cry
everyone who hasn't fallen
raise your heads and say goodbye!

This a call to arms,
so don't just turn away
bridges burn and paths grow scarcer
who but you can light the way.

From day to night and night to day
I'm trying hard to get away
when all I really want to do
is stay right here and think of you
The world is turning, so are we
the world is burning, just like me
but from the ashes, from the dust,
I know I must, I know I
must.

This is a call to arms,
this is a battle-cry
everyone who's dead and fallen
resurrect and say goodbye!

This is a call to arms,
this is the way we go
if I cannot be with you
I'll be the moon, I'll be there too.
