Across the western world
|
The fights are going down
|
The gypsy armies of the evening
|
Have lit their fires across
|
The nether side of town
|
They will not pass this way again
|
So here in the night
|
Leave your home it's time for running
|
Out of the light
|
|
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
|
The Holy Sister bars her doors against the East
|
Her house has stood too long divided
|
The uninvited guests are breaking up the feast
|
She may not bid them leave again
|
So here in the night
|
Leave your home it's time for running
|
Out of the light
|
|
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
|
I dreamed I stood like this before
|
And I'm sure the words that I heard then
|
Were much the same
|
It's just an old Greek tragedy they're acting here
|
Held over by popular acclaim
|
So here in the night
|
Leave your home it's time for running
|
Out of the light
|
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming
|
