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
