Strike the Band
I have a shadow of shadow of doubt in my heart
In like a lion and out like a lion again
Come what may, come what may in the eye of a storm
Charge the break, hold the ballast of calm
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
I am a memory nineteen and seventy eight
I am a clarity, I don't believe in mistakes
Even so, even so I've been harnessed in haste
Cage the wave, herd the water that breaks
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
Every pretender is quietly dreaming a dream
Playing a role like a serpent abandons a stream
Come what may, come what may
You are beautiful baby
Shed a tear, keep a river at bay
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
Haul away the last brigade
As the ocean swells
They sing to themselves
They sing to themselves
Ring the bells of fortune as
The final curtain falls
And wait for the applause
Wait for the applause
In like a lion and out like a lion again
Come what may, come what may in the eye of a storm
Charge the break, hold the ballast of calm
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
I am a memory nineteen and seventy eight
I am a clarity, I don't believe in mistakes
Even so, even so I've been harnessed in haste
Cage the wave, herd the water that breaks
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
Every pretender is quietly dreaming a dream
Playing a role like a serpent abandons a stream
Come what may, come what may
You are beautiful baby
Shed a tear, keep a river at bay
Oh, play the marching drum
Strike the band and run
They don't know
Just how far you've come
Sing the balladeers
Stories wild and fierce
Every frame
Is everything you're from
Haul away the last brigade
As the ocean swells
They sing to themselves
They sing to themselves
Ring the bells of fortune as
The final curtain falls
And wait for the applause
Wait for the applause
