A Call To Arms Lyrics - Singles - Mike & The Mechanics

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 rings 

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
