A fearful storm is brewing
And we’re standing on the brink
You can lead a man to knowledge
But you can’t make him think
Feeding fear to millions
As the war mongers amass
I guess that it’s too much to ask to
Learn something from the past
Can’t you hear – The Call of the Watch
Won’t you heed - The Call of the Watch
Can’t you hear – Won’t you heed - The Call of the Watch
Won’t you heed - Can’t you hear – The Call of the Watch
The hour’s drawing nearer
But you stand there paralyzed
Afraid to act or face the facts
Right before your eyes
Can’t you hear – The Call of the Watch – there’s fire ahead
Nations aflame, cities burn
Won’t you heed – The Call of the Watch – echoes of the dead
Lessons repeated but never learned
