Weapons
[Verse 1]
There's a hole in the wall
There's a light down the hall
There's a pest in the system
So we'll surely see it stall

[Verse 2]
There's a knife in my pouch
And a hammer in my belt
There's a pot on the fire
So they joy's yet to be felt

[Verse 3]
There's a home, there's a well
There's a ringin' of the bell
So tonight we feast on treasures
That they could never sell

[Verse 4]
Spirits sing, spirits fly
Through the windows see the sky
Where the moon calls out for slumber
But mischief, joy and might

[Pre -Chorus 1]
So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow
[Chorus 1]
No, they don't kill
We've got our weapons, we brew a mighty ale
The dead are dancing on the graves as drums and fiddles wail
We've our weapons, we bring them to the stones
The rituals were beyond words
Of the wedding of earth and soul
Hey!

[Verse 5]
There's a knock at the door
Well, I wonder who it's for
You got your walking stick ready
They're still on different shores

[Verse 6]
With a mind in our heads
And a heart in our chests
With the world at our boots
Our hands hold the rest

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've seen the towers they build on and up
I've got the mirth already in my cup
I've felt the winds, they try to bottle up and sell
I've walked an earth that they could never kill
No, we won't kill

[Bridge: Instrumental]

[Verse 7]
There's a hood around my shoulders
And a banjo in my hands
As the notes rise like smoke rings
With thee shall we dance

[Verse 8]
This is the flicker through the window
It is warm in here, it beckons
Well, outside bites the winter air
Inside you'll find our weapons, weapons, weapons, haha

[Chorus 2]
We've got our weapons, we brew a mighty ale
The dead are dancing on the graves as drums and fiddles wail
We've our weapons, we bring them to the stones
The rituals were beyond words with the wedding of earth and soul
Hey!

[Outro]
So our weapons seem not much to show
But they don't kill, they only help us grow
