about

Now's a good time is a big long track featuring plenty of lyrical tongue twisters. I kinda regret the overblown instrumental mid 8 these days, but what can ya do?

lyrics

Now's a good time to pluck your head from the sand,
Zion's misfit freaks are marching in to the land
You put a song in our heart, we put our hearts in your hands
As one we become, so as one we will stand

We're not defined by the past, but reminded by scars
How our hearts are refined 'til they shine like the stars
No need to talk like a wolf when we walk in the dark
The revolution will come when we come as we are

I breathe the melody in, now it runs in my blood
I laid my song to your beat, and it fits like a glove
Put my feet on the ground, keep my head up above
Make me shrewd as a snake, but as pure as a dove

I see you working subversively, reversing the curse
So the first are the last and the last are the first
Now we can laugh at the impossible and know it'll work
And grab the arse of a slim chance, like an adversity pervert

And our dreams was reborn, when we'd sworn it'd died
When our hope had all withered, our rivers had dried
Then you woke us with a kiss that cleared the mist from our eyes
And said now's a good time to be alive

Now rise up, we're moving in with our eyes closed shut
And no more pussyfooting around, we've come to shout the walls down, yeah
I said now rise up, we're moving in with our eyes closed shut
No more pussyfooting around, we've come to shout the walls down


And now rise up, we've come to shout the walls down, yeah
I said now rise up, we've come to shout the walls down, yeah
I said now rise up, we've come to shout the walls down, yeah

I'm gonna dance with my tribe until the morning light comes
Until the morning light comes, yeah
I'm gonna dance with my tribe until the morning light comes
Till the morning light comes, yeah

Rehearsing our verses, diversity bursting,
Converting our hearses and birthing a circus
Adverse to the thirst of the mercenary's purses
We're fervently serving the worthiest purpose
You are

I'm gonna dance with my tribe (You are) until the morning light comes
Till the morning light comes, yeah (You are, you are)
I'm gonna dance with my tribe (You are) until the morning light comes
Till the morning light comes, yeah
