Call To Action

You can’t ignore the void; it’s staring into you.
Your conscience given voice is silent, little used.
Whilst on your flat-screen a procession marches past:
Grim, black atrocities that fail to touch your heart.

This is your time, this is your destiny.

You turn your face away; it’s someone else’s loss.
Why should it bother you, why should you bear their cross?

This is your call, your call, your call to action.
This is your call, your call, your call to action.

Put up the barricades and bring the bastards down.
Disrupt this masquerade, raze temples to the ground.
Shrug off the opiate, wake up and make a stand.
Apathy’s scandalous, take up and plant your flag.

This is your time, your transient destiny.

The marker you take up to block out that small box
Is mightier than the sword so careful with that cross.

This is your call, your call, your call to action.
This is your call, your call, your call to action.

Find, raise and use your voice and let them know you care:
Scream out an awesome noise, remind them you are there.
Don’t let their cynicism infect, paralyze;
With all your might, resist them. Don’t believe their lies.

This is your time, you’re caught in destiny.

We abrogate responsibility, we choose
A wicker man, a scapegoat but it’s we who lose.

This is your call, your call, your call to action.
This is your call, your call, your call to action.
This is your call, your call, your call to action.
This is your call, your call, your call to action.
