Arm Yourselves and Run

Written up high on a Belgrade wall

In 1991

I saw the word of a prophet in a tempered skull

Arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run

So now the streets are quiet through the closing tears

That bring more winter days to come

And the beat's all set like the hammer and the steel

Arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run

Arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run

You can watch revolutionaries come

You can watch them fall

Year zero for another age

As another age is born

And all these fires must rise and rage

Till they burn themselves to ashes

In the dawn

In the cold smouldering dawn

You can watch the jihadists come

You can watch them fall

Year zero for another age

As another age is born

Each fire must rise and rage

Till it burns itself to ashes

In the dawn

In the cold smouldering dawn

So I remember the words on a Belgrade wall

Of 1991

Some backstreet puppet in a tempered skull

Arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run

It said arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run

Arm yourselves and run, run, run

Arm yourselves and run
