Trying to pantomime surprise
After we buried you at sunrise
With nothing you'd predicted coming true
Just doing what we'd promised you we'd do
Not ready anymore
Late for the war
Who would prepare for peace, take up the sword
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
[John Darnielle, John Darnielle & Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Even if we found the world again
Haircuts and clean clothes, and what then:
Sew ourselves clean back into the fold?
Remember 'til we don't, and then grow old?
Not ready to go that way
What would our old friend say?
Who goes without will find some great reward
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
[John Darnielle & Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lin-Manuel Miranda]
And even if they never come (Even if they never come)
Stay here by the fire, listening for the drum
In the world but not of it anymore
Starving to death down by the shore
Prehistoric insects trapped in ice
Letting the hunger claim its price
Sixteen to three now down to two
Soon, it'll just be you
[John Darnielle, Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Raise the flag and cut the cord
All aboard that's going aboard (All aboard, all aboard)
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
