This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight
And dont let her go with the fork in the road
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
Let us not be defeated, even though we cant win
Cause I see theres a crack in the walls of the mess that were in
And let us not be divided, I cannot make it alone
But Ive got a heart full of somebody calling me home
And she says:
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight
And dont let her go with the fork in the road
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
Ive never been one for fighting,
Yeah, but Im not about to lay down
Cause I still have my face (faith?) in the dust of this dirty old town
And I wouldnt have it all easy, so come on, let the hard times begin
And lets kick through the crack of the walls of the mess that were in
And I say:
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight
And dont let her go with the fork in the road
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
Do you remember old Danny?
Its been so long since he died
Well, he was just a man who loved one woman for all of his life
And under hospital blankets, family stood round his bed,
He was too weak to talk, but he lifted his eyes and they said:
Darling, be strong; even though Ill be gone
Still I want you to know your love has meant everything,
Now pick up your voice and sing cause:
This is a call to arms, hold your darling tight
And dont let her go with the fork in the road
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
Well this is a call to arms, hold your darling tight
And dont let her go with the fork in the road
Well this is a call to arms, yeah now this is a call to arms
This is a call to arms, this is a call to arms
