The Subtle Way - You And What Army? lyrics

rate me

Under my command we have

Gained a foothold here

This eroding sand will not

Bid us cover for long I fear

Incoming! Incoming!

I’ve gone to the triarii

Once again those starry eyes

Embroider the night sky,

And I hear the war cry

Stay alert! Stay alert!

Look alive and stay alive

This earth we’re on has gone awry

The anchors are untied

Anchors away

To your feet and to the stars

Follow me, fall, follow me I

Left this one, and call it mine

Follow me, fall, follow me I

Left this one, to draw their fire

Under my command, we have

Gained the higher ground

And my heavy hand can reach

For what it’s bound

If I can get to my feet then I can get to the stars

Just keep in mind, there’s no easy way out

If I can stand, then I can easily get to the stars

On your feet! On your feet!

Cause time is on the others

Keep inside what’s on your mind

Cause I can’t keep holding my tongue and my breath for you

Your wish is my command

My burden and the weight behind my heavy hand

Let my arms be your compass when you’ve washed the stars away

From your eyes and from the skies

Before we’ve lost what’s left to save

And under my command

We’ve gone to the triarii

Dug into the sand that we watched with starry eyes

Allowed our ankles to be cauterized

So there is not a span that we have not memorized

We’d never dare wash the stars off from our eyes
