Waking up at dawn the single raven calls
There's an army waiting by the city walls
The castle is deserted, no sign of the king and queen
There's no one to see we are at siege
No lights, no phone, the power's gone down
Could you tell me, tell me whose army's marching
Over the city walls?
Whose army, whose army, whose army
The world has turned to ashes in their hands
The villages are burning but at who's command?
And the empire dreams in catatonic calm
To the vampire screams of car alarms
And they've broken all the stones of all the roads that lead to Rome
And I'm standing here alone on an empty throne
And there's no one around to let me know
Your angel guards have gathered in hoards
Could you tell me, tell me whose army's marching over the city walls?
Whose army, whose army, whose army
Look around, the people on the ground have gone to the clouds
The beautiful and the proud have taken all their power up the clouds
Whose army?
Standing on the wall of the last surviving tower
I'm holding out my hand through the barrier
Saying who was it sent you, whom do you obey
And the general looks up at me
He says:
Alll of this was for you
We've done what you told us to do
You know whose army's marching over the city wall?
Whose army
