I recorded this at home, so if you listen closely toward the beginning of the song, you'll hear one of my birds doing backup vocals.
The sky's gettin' dark, the storm's approaching, it's coming in from the East
Comin' to wash us all away.
Those who wait, those who hesitate, like a lamb will be fleeced.
Those who fight could win the day.
The storm's been brewin' for quite some time, only we've never stopped to hear
The roarin' wind and the rumble.
But now that it's come, we're all gonna get wet
So steel your hearts and grab your gear.
And watch the life we know as it crumbles.
We've had it too good for far too long, the party's come to a crashing end.
The days to come are gonna be a trial, if not to break, we've got to bend.
While we celebrate, while we eat and drink, our enemies are closin' in.
Like vultures flyin' low, circlin' around the remains of what has been.
I'm tired of tryin', tired of talkin' 'til I'm blue in the face
Preachin' to a choir that's fast asleep.
'Cause if you don't know what we have in store, you'll be blown away by the storm.
Led to the slaughter like a flock of sheep.
We blindly accept whatever we're told by talking heads on the TV.
You don't understand there's so much more than what they give for you to see.
Every man and woman, you've got to ask yourself
"Am I ready to defend my rights?"
Or are you so afraid that you'll just submit and give up without a fight?
Chorus
I'm not that kind of man
I'm not that kind of fool
I refuse to abide
I won't live by their rules.
Take off your blinders and look around
The storm's just outside.
Will you draw a line, and take a stand
Or run away and hide?
Solo
Chorus
Open your eyes to the world outside you.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
