Where Duty Calls

In a room in Lebanon, they silently slept
They were dreaming crazy dreams, foreign alphabet
Lucky young boys cross on the main
The driver was approaching the American zone
The waving of hands, the tiniest train
They never dreamed, they'd never wake again

Voice of the Swarm we follow, we fall
Kneel for priests, some wail at walls
Flag on a match head, God or the law
And they'll all go together
Where duty calls
United children, child of Iran
Parallel prayers, baseball Koran
I'll protect mama, I'll be lie awake
I'll die for Allah in a holy war
I'll be a ranger, I'll guard the streams
I'll be a soldier, a sleeping Marine

Voice of the Swarm we follow, we fall
Kneel for priests, some wail at walls
Flag on a match head, God or the law
And they'll all go together
Where duty calls
In the heart of the ancient Ali smiles
In the soul of the desert, the sun blooms
Awake
Into the glare of all our little wars
Who pray to salute
The coming and dying of the moon
Oh, sleeping sun, oh-oh
Assassin in prayer laid a compass deep
Exploding dawn and himself as well
Their eyes for his eyes, their breath for his breath
All to his end and a room in Lebanon
Dust of scenes erase and blend
May the blanket of Kings cover them and him

Voice of the Swarm we follow, we fall
Kneel for priests some wail at wall
Flag on a match head, God or the law
And they'll all go together
Where duty calls

Forgive them Father
They know not what they do
From the vast portals of their consciousness
They're calling to you
Room in Lebanon
There's room in Lebanon
