American Century Lyrics by Wishbone Ash

Blue Horizon

2014

[Verse 1]
Looking out on a New England town
Thinking on what brought the British down
Thirteen colonies were overrun
Power turning on a book and a gun
[Chorus]
Hear the call to arms (There's a rising up)
End of silence (The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny (Just take a stand)
Open sympathy (And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence
[Verse 2]
Power resting in the hands of a few
Paranoia once again, it’s true
Shadows fall across this broken land
Disillusion people understand
[Chorus]
Hear the call to arms (There's a rising up)
End of silence (The time has come)
Bringing harm to bear their license
End of tyranny (Just take a stand)
Open sympathy (And they will join with you)
Challenging their reign with violence
