Robots of the Dawn
A clear night in the winter,
leaves frost on the grass in morn,
and in the mist the moving shadows
are the robots of the dawn
A hundred and twenty horses
fuming in the air
they're driven by their masters
don't breathe for cancer fear
With graveyard business booming
and shadows on the lawn
Tears flow form their silhouettes
for the robots of the dawn
Chorus
I'm calling Rise up in the morning
I'm calling rise up rise and ride
I'm calling rise up life I'm calling
I'm calling rise up time to fly
Their bodies old and frail
they've worked for fifty years
with hammers hitting nails
and breathing morning air
Now I call for morning silence
and I call for woman scorn
Now I call for the old man rising
with the robots of the dawn
Chorus
I'm calling Rise up in the morning
I'm calling rise up rise and ride
I'm calling rise up life Im calling
I'm calling robots time to die
