New Model Army - Whirlwind Lyrics

I felt a shiver in the heat-haze
The waiting time is over
Strange tongues on the airwaves
As the voices call from distant lands

I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day
As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below
Let the whirlwind blow

And so we shutter up the doorways
As the ripples move towards us
For a moment stop breathing
She wakes and stirs beneath our feet

The order try to stand their ground
While every battlefront is shifting
Well, they still believe that they can hold the reins
But then they've got no sense of history

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow
The waters seething, bubbling out of control
Let the whirlwind blow
Come on take my hand and we'll dive

A television blares in an empty room
The poisoned waters glisten
Goliath staggers round in a punch-drunk daze
Doesn't understand what hit him

I saw which was the winning side
But still I joined the other
And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day
As the storm begins to break cover

Let the whirlwind blow
Through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below

Let the whirlwind blow
The waters seething, breaking out of control
Let the whirlwind blow
You wanna take my hand and go dive, dive, down, down

Let the whirlwind blow
Yeah, through the ice, the melting, melting snows
Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below

Let the whirlwind blow
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow
Let the whirlwind blow
We watch the oceans rise and the governments start to fall

Let the whirlwind blow
Across the freezing skies until the lights go out below
Let the whirlwind blow
Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow
