The wandering stars that hung up in the sky
Were shaken from their strings,
Left on the earth to die
The east wind blew orange, scorching like the sun
And all the trumpeteers knew their day had come,
All the trumpeteers knew their day had come
He came out conquering the day the age was old
And heavy were the rocks,
That shattered down below
He looked you in the eye and broke you with a smile
Your artificial heart beat for it's final time
You artificial heart beat for it's final time
I was ten minutes late to the Clarion Call
I woke up just in time to see that London had fallen
Is there any space to pass through the gates
I was ten minutes late
Now you sit and stare across the glassy sea,
And can't remember what a tear used to be
The myriad songs you're singing all by heart,
Have risen to the sky to take the place of stars
They've risen to the sky to take the place of stars
I was ten minutes late to the Clarion Call
I woke up just in time to see that London had fallen
Is there any space to pass through the gates
I was ten minutes late
