[Verse 1]
We have been waiting and it has begun
Humble thyself and hold thy tongue
We have been waiting and it has begun
Prostrate yourself, your time has come

[Verse 2]
We have been waiting and it has begun
Look boldly, look boldly, look boldly on
We have been waiting and it has begun
So humble thyself, and hold thy tongue

[Chorus 1]
Knelt at the crossroads, knelt at the leather bound pew
Felt the pain of labor, and of sons overdue
In full submission, we are reborn
We are the plowshare and yet we are the sword
Oh

[Verse 3]
We have been waiting and it has begun
Humble thyself and hold thy tongue
We have been waiting and it has begun
Prostrate yourself, your time has come

[Chorus 2]
We'll thresh the psyche and till the pride
Distill the blood, proclaim the gun divine
Damn the foul ego, praise the promised swarm
We are the plowshare and yet we are the sword
[Chorus 3]
So we're lock, stock and barrel, baby; hook, line, and sinker
Your freedom was your master, your liberties the flint for
A double barrel sunrise, a double standard land
You gave birth to the baby, but put a gun into its hands

[Verse 4]
So the fruits of your labors have fermented into wine
And the sweat that you dripped is now the honey of the hive
The city is a burning sun, we are blooming flowers
The fire, the flame, the passion, the power

[Chorus 3]
So we're lock, stock and barrel, baby; hook, line, and sinker
Your freedom was your master, your liberties the flint for
A double barrel sunrise, a double standard land
You gave birth to the baby, but put a gun into its hands

[Outro Chorus]
I'll say it again
Too little (too little), too late (late)
Too little (too little), too late (late)
Too little (too little), too late (late)
High caliber consecrator
Too little (too little), too late (late)
Too little (too little), too late (late)
Too little (too little), too late (late)
High caliber consecrator
