Lyrics

[Verse 1] While you were stealing from your office job The bomb went off and you could not stop it We fight for land and not for peace, to give away, and not for profit Is this a way of life or not? Either way, it's all that we've got [Verse 2] My eyes stole my innocence and now I don't know why I still want more of the same, mone of the hurt and more of the pain Is this what drives me to pursue, the seconds of joy that stick like glue To the strings that I strum for you To get away or to return To the only place I've ever come from [Chorus] To the left, to the right No longer knowing what the difference was To the East, to the West Between the good things that we've got And the failure to recognise what we've lost It's Armageddon in the morning [Verse 3] When you were picking up the playing cards, what were you doing it for? A crisis came, went and came again, a virus in the congregation Have you ever stood up to be counted on? Or is it the others you depend upon? [Chorus] To the right, to the right If you can't see me, I can't see you To the West, to the East If that's what you think, you don't know me You don't know me at all It's Armageddon in the morning [Post-Chorus] A.R.M.A.G.E.D.D.O.N Armageddon in the morning [Verse 4] Killers and poets write their names in the press That feed off the crumbs of society's dregs We all go down with the ship, we all get burned in the same fire [Chorus] To the left, to the right At 23, I was clinging on To the East, to the West At 58 and I still want more Yes, I still want more It's Armageddon in the morning [Verse 5] I saw a plane falling through the sky, a tailpiece down on the ground Kids staring from a school bus window, wondering what's going down I'm just a passenger up in the sky The last I heard the seat belt sign was turned on, it said [Chorus] To the left, to the right Anyway, anyhow To the East, to the West Any day, any time We're all going to die It's Armageddon in the morning [Verse 6] I was looking from the mountainside, I could see the horizon burning I was looking right into your eyes, and I knew the tables were turning Some people want to live in this world Some people want to die in the next [Chorus] To the left, to the right There's got to be a reason To the East, to the West There's got to be an answer It can't all have just been for nothing It's Armageddon in the morning [Post-Chorus] A.R.M.A.G.E.D.D.O.N Armageddon in the morning [Outro] Through the battle, I will carry you Through the battle, I will carry you Through the battle, I will carry you Through the battle, I will carry you
