The Maccabees - Wall of Arms lyrics

rate me

I woke up with a loved one's eyes upon me

Loved one's arms around me

Oh...She's my one and only

I grew up in the bosom of my family

Eight strong arms around me

Oh...from the seed they've grown me

And I thank those

Those who kept me company

They are a wall of arms around me

Oh...it is they who are my army

Oh… it is they who are my army

Through these eyes

There's no god above me

No devil below me

No purgatory, no pearly gates

The worms are what await me

It’s only me that can forgive me and

I have faith, oh...I have faith

I have faith, oh...I have faith

In those who put up with me

She's my one and only

If I'm the seed they've grown me

They who are my army

The wall of arms around me
