Saxon - Call to Arms

5th, title song on their ”Call to Arms” (2011.) album. In my opinion, one of the best songs Saxon have written in last 20 years. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

A telegram came today

It’s taking me far away

Away from the ones I love

I put my faith in God above

We march toward the sound of distant guns

White fire lighting up the sky

We came to fight and die in fields of blood

We’ll follow the call to arms

I will write you every day

Hope our love won’t fade away

You give me strength to carry on

Until the final day is done

This hell, this hell is where we live and die

We fall, comrades by our side

We pray to make it through another day

To follow the call to arms

If I die, please don’t forget me

If I live, I want to live free

We pray to God, these days will end

And bring us back safe to your arms

I’ve saved all your letters

I keep them pressed close to my heart

And they won’t stop a bullet

They just keep me closer to you than apart

We live; we gotta live free

We die; remember me

We pray to make it through another day

To follow the call to arms

Telegram came today

It’s taking me far away

Away from the ones I love

I put my faith in God above
