The Alarm

A hard fall on a rough path
Her body, her betrayer
She spoke as she fought back

To lose is to lose, but I'll never die for you
Now I'm saved with the flare, the spark, the alarm
We're not alone in this fight
There's no excuse for the trite
Not one

Would they believe the things we've done?
It gives my sleepless nights a reason to be home
They're crying out as they make their way down
In the midst of all this drowning
What will come of us?

Swing now hard, the reveille sounds
Was it worth it?
Swing now hard, the reveille sounds
Was it worth it?
Swing now hard, the reveille sounds
Was it worth it?
Swing now hard, the reveille sounds
Was it worth it?

They set the fire with eyes so wide
A sudden sense of comfort washed over them at once
They're crying out as they make their way down
In the midst of it, what became?

Swing now hard
Swing now hard
Swing now hard
Swing now hard
Oh yeah!
Goddamn!

With eyes so wide
Love, love is all there was
With eyes so wide
Love, love is all there was
Love is all there was
