The Attack Lyrics - New Model Army

Now the talking's over, plans are laid and the hour is set 

Glances round the table, eyes all shining, dark and bright 

We meet again at daybreak for the day that will be ours 

We're tomorrow's history 

So just check your weapons, say your prayers. 

Now the evening's over, voices muffled in the cold night mist 

We leave the house together, home to rest up in the last few hours 

Heads against the pillows with eyes that will not close 

Of all the dreams that we've ever had 

This is the one, this is the one 

Now the night is over - dawn cracks open like a breaking shell 

Now the waiting's over - as we walk in silence through the empty streets 

We meet beneath the tower, greetings empty like the taste inside 

Turn towards the valley and the day that has waited for us all our lives 

Even in this age of concrete, even in this age of reason 

There comes a time when you put your life 

Into the hands of the gods.
