Whirlwind - New Model Army

I felt a shiver in the heat-haze and the waiting time is over

Strange tongues on the airwaves as the voices call from distant lands

I saw which was the winning side but still I joined the other

And I’m in love with every strange unfolding day

As the storm begins to break cover

So let the whirlwind blow

— through the ice, the melting snows

— across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

And so we shutter up the doorways as the ripples move towards us

For a moment stop breathing — She wakes and stirs beneath our feet

The Order try to stand their ground, while every battlefront is shifting

They still believe that they can hold the reins

But then they’ve got no sense of history

So let the whirlwind blow

— through the ice, the melting snows

— across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

— the waters seething, bubbling out of control

— come on take my hand and we’ll dive

A television blares in an empty room

The poisoned waters glisten

Goliath staggers round in a punch-drunk daze

Doesn’t understand what hit him

I saw which was the winning side but still I joined the other

And I’m in love with every strange unfolding day

As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow

— through the ice, the melting snows

— across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

— the waters seething, out of control

— we watch the oceans rise and the governments start to fall

— across the freezing skies until the lights go out below
