Lyrically, “A Call to Arms” is about a deteriorating relationship. The singer issues a last-ditch plea to her lover to work on saving their relationship. Sonically, this is a piano-driven ballad with alternative influences.
“A Call to Arms” was featured twice in The CW historical drama, Reign: seas...
[Verse 1]
My love, the drums are calling
A red sky, a warning
No sense in hiding from the front line
It's been here the whole time
I sleep to keep my mind at ease
I wander through a dream
Of what I once believed
No rest until we face the truth
And draw it to the light
[Chorus]
This is a call to arms
Will you embrace me
Before it's too late, baby?
This is a call to arms
Will you embrace me
Before it's too late, baby?
[Verse 2]
Take care of all the love you spend
It's wasting to nothing
Beware of wolves who hide their teeth
They'll take you and leave you
Should I be like a Russian doll?
A statue in the cold
As empty as a shell
Or make a final stand
Go back to what we had
I'm stepping out from my defenses
[Chorus]
This is a call to arms
Will you embrace me
Before it's too late, baby?
This is a call to arms
Will you embrace me
Before it's too late, baby?
[Post-Chorus]
This is a call to arms
Will you save me?
Will you save me?
[Outro]
My love, the drums are calling
A red sky, a warning
