There is a moment when you know
You know the walls are breaking
The boards on windows quick decaying
The floors of stone begin roughly shaking
And all that’s known is soon to fall
There is that moment you can’t deny
No denial against the growing danger
All that’s been has now turned stranger
All that was now burnt in anger
And nothings left to hold onto
There is a moment that won’t be ignored
No blind eye can turn against its coming storm
For every shutter has long since been torn
For every lock has been aged and worn
And nothing blocks its presence to be known
There is a moment that you feel
You feel the anticipation of outbreak
Your vulnerability allows no more wounds to take
Your final shreds of pride at stake
And all that’s left is thoughts of escape
There is a moment when you know
A moment where there is no escape
A moment that demands surrender
A moment that comes when you have no avenger
And then you know it is time for armour
