Call to Arms
Angels & Airwaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a little black, dark scar, tired divide
This is it, can you hear me?
Have you ever felt a sad heart buried alive?
You can do almost anything
There's a little red bridge with the view of the sun with a lake
I recommend such a setting site
And the thousands of stars come out thousands of times
And we can go, only if you believe

Only if you believe

Do you feel like you've lost everything you can lose?
This is it, can you hear me?
When you cry do your fears ever chill up the room?
Calling out in a moment of need
Do you ever lay awake with a look in the eye?
Asking god if a wish is too big to deny?
I will offer a line and it is ready for use
Let me know are you ready for me?

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time

When the storm brings rain, snow, fate of all kinds
You can feel almost anything
When the day seems to melt, fall flat into night
You can feel almost anything
When you can't go on, you got to get up and try
This is it, can you feel me?
And when the bombs come down, we will make it alive
But only if you want to believe

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time
I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears
And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time

(Out of time)
When I dream
When I dream
I feel your heart
When I dream
I'm out of time (I feel your heart)
When I dream
I'm out of time
I feel your heart
I feel your heart
I feel your heart
I feel your heart

I'd like to say, that you're my only fear
And when I dream, it slowly disappears




And when I wake, I'm right here by your side
To feel your heart, beat in and out of time

Have you ever felt a sad heart buried alive?

With a lake I recommend such a setting sight
And the thousands of stars, come out thousands of times
We can go only if you believe
Only if you believe

What a song. This might be one of my favorite songs ever, if not the most. The intro, the guitars, the hard drumming, the uplifting lyrics, a chorus that makes you soar into the sky... It's always there. Like a friend helping you up; like a loved one that wants you to keep fighting and make sure you are okay. This album just turned 15 and still sounds like the first time I heard it. And even though time goes by and life changes, I think it always will.

@koraegis

the only way to heaven bro is through Jesus :) #youmustbebornagain

@AnEnginerd

I feel the same! Great description of this moving tune. All the feels.

@goodviber9547

@MaudeWhite-yc6ji

Haven't heard it N decade and thinking U R correct

@alanjohnsonbmw

Such an amazing chorus. This album is just genius.

Cool fact: The album's cover was painted by Drew Struzan, the poster artist who created the Star Wars posters in the 1970s.

@dallasbagley

Not surprised, I was getting those vibes to begin with.

@billymanziel5666

That’s really cool, thanks for sharing that

@jf1573

*1980s — But thanks for the Info.

@Dog1818YT

@N N well the first star wars was in the late 70's so technically not a necessary correction.
