The Stand - The Alarm

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand

And I’ve looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread

I met the walking dude, religious, in his wom down cowboy boots

He walked liked no man on earth

I swear he had no name (had no name)

I swear he had no name

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down and make the stand

As I crawled beneath the searchlights

Looking through the floorboards of this life

I met Doctor Strangelove’s cousin

He bore the marks of time

«Hey!

Trashcan where you going boy

Your eyes are feet apart

Is that the end you’re carrying

Shall I play the funeral march» (play the march)

«Play the funeral march»

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down and we’ll make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down, we’ll make the stand

When I looked out the window

On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open

The plague claimed man and son

Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace

A simple wooden cross

It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)

It had no epitaph engraved

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on and make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down, and we’ll make the stand

Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn

The hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, this prophecy’s coming true

The cavalry is thundering riding over the hill

Riding over the hill

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on

And make the stand!

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down and we’ll make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down and we’ll make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on down and we’ll make the stand

Come on down and meet your maker (you got to meet your maker!)

Come on down and make the stand

Come on down, come on down

Come on

And we’ll make the stand
