Lyrics
Soon the tide will turn, and effigies will burn
Turn towards a new day, the old stars fade away
Blood gets spilled in the morning and Freedom's at days end
Heed the call take arms they cry, fly the flag as they come to die
When Revolution road is calling
When Revolution road is calling
Other leaders wait while they wave their flags around
Tearin' out their hearts they bury them in the ground
Flesh and metal, smoke and fire, a peoples hope becomes a pyre
Burning houses on the road, the innocent they bear the load.
When Revolution Road is calling
When Revolution Road is calling
