Arcade Fire - Intervention lyrics

rate me

King's taking back the throne

The people, they all grow

And choose what they want written on the stone

All quiet and alone

You can taste the fear

Lift me up and take me out of here

I know I wanna fight, I wanna die

Just tell me what to say

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone

Something in the air

The people they all sit and stare

And tell me what they point to tell me where

And tell me…

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?

Whose gonna re-set the bone?

Sitting with his head in a sling

I hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone

Sun, shine a light

Someone take me, teach me how to fly

And onto something for which I would die

But I just don't know what

And know I can taste the fear

Lift me up and take me out of hear

You make it all concise and clear

You know I'm gonna fade

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone
