Lyrics The Maccabees

The Maccabees

Wall of Arms

I woke up with a loved one's eyes upon me

Loved one's arms around me

Oh, she's my one and only

And I grew up in the bosom of my family

Eight strong arms around me

Oh, from the seed they've grown me

And I thank those, those who kept me company

They are a wall of arms around me

Oh, it is they who are my army

Oh, it is they who are my army

Through these eyes there's no God above me

No devil below me, no purgatory, no pearly gates

The worms are what await me

It's only me that can forgive me

And I have faith, oh I have faith

I have faith, oh I have faith in those who put up with me

She's my one and only

If I'm the seed they've grown me

They who are my army

The wall of arms around me

She's my one and only

If I'm the seed they've grown me

They who are my army

The wall of arms around me
