"From The North" lyrics

The king was standing quietly in his palace
Staring from the window to the streets below
While the queen was sewing tapestries beside him
The king and queen had nowhere else to go

The military captain in the guardhouse
Had a problem he was trying to ignore
Would he fire upon the people when they got here
Would his troops obey he wasn't really sure

From the North came the sounds of revolution
From the North from the North
From the North people shouting restitution
People marching people crying
People fighting people dying
From the North

The ministers were running in confusion
Powerless and paralyzed with fear
Powerless to change the course of history
In a day or two the people would be here

From the North came the sounds of revolution
From the North from the North
From the North people shouting restitution
People marching people crying
People fighting people dying
From the North

From the North came the sounds of revolution
From the North from the North
From the North people shouting restitution
People marching people crying
People fighting people dying
From the North

People marching people crying
People fighting people dying
From the North
From the North
