Lyrics New Model Army

New Model Army

Whirlwind

I felt a shiver in the heat-haze

The waiting time is over

Strange tongues on the airwaves

As the voices call from distant lands

I saw which was the winning side

But still I joined the other

And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day

As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow

Through the ice, the melting, melting snows

Let the whirlwind blow

Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow

And so we shutter up the doorways

As the ripples move towards us

For a moment stop breathing

She wakes and stirs beneath our feet

The order try to stand their ground

While every battlefront is shifting

Well, they still believe that they can hold the reins

But then they've got no sense of history

Let the whirlwind blow

Through the ice, the melting, melting snows

Let the whirlwind blow

Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow

The waters seething, bubbling out of control

Let the whirlwind blow

Come on take my hand and we'll dive

A television blares in an empty room

The poisoned waters glisten

Goliath staggers round in a punch-drunk daze

Doesn't understand what hit him

I saw which was the winning side

But still I joined the other

And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day

As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow

Through the ice, the melting, melting snows

Let the whirlwind blow

Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow

The waters seething, breaking out of control

Let the whirlwind blow

You wanna take my hand and go dive, dive, down, down

Let the whirlwind blow

Yeah, through the ice, the melting, melting snows

Let the whirlwind blow

Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below

Let the whirlwind blow

Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow

Let the whirlwind blow

We watch the oceans rise and the governments start to fall

Let the whirlwind blow

Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below

Let the whirlwind blow

Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow
