These ropes I hold lay torn and bent
As we drift beyond the bow
And the clouds relay their discontent
As the wind begins to howl
The roads I used to travel on
Are fading into lines
Just pictures now of days long gone
Just sketches holding time
Are you still on my side
As we reach for the edge
Are you holding a light
For the darkness ahead
Will you join in my fight
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
Cause I still feel the same
And I still know the way
But the journey's getting harder now
So I'll move on past these shifting wrecks
And the sunken chests of gold
Cause we don't need a safety check
To tell us where to go
I just need a steady hand
And a future I believe
And someone here to understand
And an air that I can breathe
Are you still on my side
As we reach for the edge
Will you carry the light
To the darkness ahead
Will you join in the fight
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
When the armies arrive
Cause I still feel the same
And I still know the way
But the journey's getting harder now
And even as they rise
I'll still feel the same
And I won't turn away
I'll just push on further out
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
