THE ARCADE FIRE - Intervention lyrics

Keys taken back I throw

The people they all grow

And choose what they want written on their stone

All quiet and alone

You can taste the fear

Lift me up and take me out of here

I know I want to fight I want to die

Just tell me what to say

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone

There's something in the air

The people they all sit and stare

And tell me what they point to tell me where

And tell me

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?

Whose gonna re-set the bone?

Sitting with his head in a sling

I hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone

Sunshine light

Someone teach me how to fly

And onto something for wish I would die, but I just don't know what

Though I can taste the fear

Lift me up and take me out of here

And make it all concisely clear

You know I'm gonna fade

Working for the church while your family dies

Little baby sister gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan

All quiet and alone

Hear the soldiers groan
