When The Armies Arrive Songtext
von Mark Wilkinson

These ropes I hold lay torn and bent
As we drift beyond the bow
And the clouds relay their discontent
As the wind begins to howl
The roads I used to travel on
Are fading into lines
Just sketches now of days long gone
And fingers holding time

Are you still on my side
As I reach for the edge
Are you holding a light
For the darkness ahead
Will you join in my fight
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive

′Cause I still feel the same
I still know the way
But the journey's getting harder now


So move on past these shifting wrecks
And the sunken chests of gold
′Cause we don't need a safety check
To tell us where to go
I just need a steady hand
And a future I believe
With someone here to understand
And an air that I can breathe
I can breathe

Are you still on my side
As I reach for the edge
Are you holding a light
For the darkness ahead, yeah yeah
Will you join in my fight
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive

'Cause I still feel the same
I still know the way
But the journey′s getting harder now
And even as they rise
I still feel the same
I still know the way
So I′ll just push on further and further and further
