Cry Havoc
Nine yards was a yard too far
I fell a little bit short
I didn't quite make the grade
Just an afterthought
Five years was a month too long
Now there's no time left
That ship sailed long ago
My sins unconfessed
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
This is not a false alarm
It's not a fire drill
It's time to face the facts
And take the poisoned pill
They say you can never go home
Even if you dare
I'm not bitter or upset
I don't care enough to care
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
I'm not your Abélard
You're not my Héloïse
But you take whatever you're given
In times like these
Pick up these rocks and stones
Squeeze 'em til they bleed
In my mind I calculate
The algebra of need
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
I fell a little bit short
I didn't quite make the grade
Just an afterthought
Five years was a month too long
Now there's no time left
That ship sailed long ago
My sins unconfessed
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
This is not a false alarm
It's not a fire drill
It's time to face the facts
And take the poisoned pill
They say you can never go home
Even if you dare
I'm not bitter or upset
I don't care enough to care
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
I'm not your Abélard
You're not my Héloïse
But you take whatever you're given
In times like these
Pick up these rocks and stones
Squeeze 'em til they bleed
In my mind I calculate
The algebra of need
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
Cry havoc
Let slip the dogs of war
Cry havoc
This is what we waited for
Cry havoc
Cast off that ball and chain
Cry havoc
And let confusion reign
