lyrics

When the ink dries on the page

When the head stands on his stage
When the creature's in her cage

Come what may

When the winter does not stay
When the summer turns to haze

When the paper goes in flames
Come what may

When the northern starts to blaze

When the darkness finds the waves

When the boats lie in decay
Come what may



When the suits lay down their claim

When the people do the same

When the hopeful find a maze

When the wicked do not pay

When the waters start to stain

When the peaceful turn to rage

When the rifles take aim

Come what may
