The lions in the street Bend their heads For the reckoning day Cause the interstate's Giving up her dead For the reckoning day Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the Sound of the song unsung Bury all your guns in the sand Cause the temperature's changed And the blood shot Eye of the sun Stains the bones of the slain Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the Sound of the song unsung The hour's gonna take you apart On the reckoning day If the property lines of your heart Are drawn in the clay Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the Sound of the song unsung The tidewater's taxing the shores Of the washing away The flood stands High at the doors Of the houses you've made Would you come alive everybody Would you come alive everyone Get up out of bed for the Sound of the song unsung Lift up your head Oh you gates Lift up your eyes All you who wait Daughter and son Ashes and dust Come untied from the Weight of the age
