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   Crystallize 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      In other words, I hope and pray   That time and tide wash the hate away   A simple man with simple thoughts
