Cause For Alarm

(album: The House That Dirt Built - 2009)

You must listen to this story
Pay attention to this tale
For you to bathe in glory
You must be doomed to fail
Let you in on no secret
Give yourself no head start
Taking in the breath is easy
Making is the hardest part

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

There is no dress rehearsal
There's no easy lesson learned
Better to be breathing fire
Than to have your bridges burned
Let it be your only duty
Dedicate it to your own
If you gonna fight like lion
Someone ought get murdered off

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and stay
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

Fire fall upon us
And lighting shall strike the Earth
For you to reach salvation
You must value what it's worth
When there are great expectation
There is no one else to blame
You can either shoot for freedom
Or you drag a ball and chain

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and pray
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay

This is a cause for alarm
Get on your knees and stay
Don't be a knight in armor
Without a beast to slay
