The Maccabees — Wall Of Arms lyrics

Lyrics

I woke up with a loved one’s eyes upon me Loved one’s arms around me Oh, she’s my one and only
And I grew up in the bosom of my family
Eight strong arms around me Oh, from the seed they’ve grown me And I thank those, those who kept me company
They are a wall of arms around me Oh, it is they who are my army
Oh, it is they who are my army
Through these eyes there’s no God above me No devil below me, no purgatory, no pearly gates
The worms are what await me It’s only me that can forgive me And I have faith, oh I have faith
I have faith, oh I have faith in those who put up with me She’s my one and only
If I’m the seed they’ve grown me They who are my army
The wall of arms around me She’s my one and only
If I’m the seed they’ve grown me They who are my army
The wall of arms around me
