Bonus Content: I Called Out

There’s unrest a-brewing…

Listen here

Lyrics
Three winters now of darkness

And famine on the land

When folks are tired and hungry

Comes violence hand-in-hand

Priests say it will get better

It starts to sound like lies

We’ve never had so little

Or taxes quite as high

To love your neighbour’s easy

When belly’s fat and wide

But some folk when they're starving

Will steal all that you don’t hide

We hope the King’s battalions

Would give these thugs the boot

But when they came upon our fields

They just joined in the loot

So I called out to the King

“Will you save your people?”

Called out to the church

“Can you save the poor?”

I called out to the army

“Will your men protect us?”

Call to anyone that can get us through

But no one is coming

We’re all on our own

The King’s doing nothing

Sat on his throne

The church cannot save us

The army’s corrupt

There’s no one here but us

It’s time to rise up

The cities aren’t much better

Their packed with sick and damned

The streets are full of beggars

Missing legs and missing hands

We’re told that they fought bravely

Well, bravery’s a lie

For loyalty and service

They’ve been kicked out, left to die

When folks they raise their voices

For what justice is found

The answer of the magistrates

Is just the musket round

We’re tired and we are hungry

It more than we can take

We’re bound, beaten, we have no voice

And something’s got to break

So I called out to the King

“Will you save your people?”

Called out to the church

“Can you save the poor?”

I called out to the army

“Will your men protect us?”

Call to anyone that can get us through

But no one is coming

We’re all on our own

The King’s doing nothing

Sat on his throne

The church cannot save us

The army’s corrupt

There’s no one here but us

It’s time to rise up

Well, I love my country

As much as the next

And I’m not a traitor

I just want to save our necks

But this ship is being

Driven hard aground

So follow me comrades

To keep your home safe and sound
