I hardly can recall a song where Hawkwind sings the lyrics so clear and with gaps after every line to draw the attention of the listener to the lyrics.
With this song structure the message of the long to come war comes even more frightening over.
What is interesting about this song is the line
“ Fo...
They're handing out the weapons -
And your armour's ready too
But the most important item -
Has been left up to you
You must make a firm decision -
And once it's made you'll find
That the form that you have chosen -
Can entirely fill your mind
For the mask you have selected -
Stands for Chaos or for Law
And you cannot take it off now -
Til you're no longer -
In the war
In the war
In the war [Fade out]
In the war
Choose your Masks -
The ranks are forming
Choose your Masks -
The day is dawning
Choose your Masks -
And choose the side that you'll be on
And learn the words of your new song
For the Battle will be long -
So long
[Instrumental]
They're handing out the weapons -
And your armour's ready too
But the most important item -
Has been left up to you
You must make a firm decision -
And once it's made you'll find -
That the form that you have chosen -
Can entirely fill your mind
For the mask you have selected -
Stands for Chaos or for Law
And you cannot take it off now -
'Til you're no longer in the war
Choose your Masks -
The ranks are forming
Choose your Masks -
The day is dawning
Choose your Masks -
And choose the side that you'll be on
And learn the words of your new song -
Learn the words of your new song
[Instrumental]
Choose the side that you'll be on -
Learn the words of your new song
Learn the words of your new song
Your new song
Your new song
Your new song
Your new song
Your new song
Your new song
