歌詞
[Verse 1]
Raider scum on the ridge
Burnin' up the wheat
Steel drums in the cold
Boots on every street
Settlers took the road
Left their homes behind
With ash on their sleeves
And worry on their minds
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Capital, please"
At the iron gate
"Got a bad man comin'
And it's gettin' late"
President in a silk chair
Sippin' something sweet
While the world outside
Kept beatin' dusty feet
[Chorus]
We came for help
We came for help
Don't turn us away
We came for help
Raider scum is near
And the night won't wait
We came for help
We came for help
[Verse 2]
He looked at the map
With a ring on his hand
Talked of who to save
And who to take a stand
Rich drinks on the table
Gold on the wall
Settlers in the doorway
Waitin' through it all
Then a baby started cryin'
And an old man said
"Sir, if you won't send mercy
Send your men instead"
[Pre-Chorus]
He set down his glass
He saw the dust in their hair
He saw a broken wagon
And a mother starin' scared
Then he rose from the chair
And his voice got hard
Said, "If they want your land
They'll meet us in the yard"
[Chorus]
We came for help
We came for help
Don't turn us away
We came for help
Raider scum is near
And the night won't wait
We came for help
We came for help
[Bridge]
Take the children inside
Lock the gate with chain
Pray the fire holds
Pray it holds the pain
'Cause out past the corn
Past the blackened tree
There's a dust-cloud army
Comin' for me and thee
[Chorus]
We came for help
We came for help
Don't turn us away
We came for help
Raider scum is near
And the night won't wait
We came for help
We came for help
Raider scum on the ridge
Burnin' up the wheat
Steel drums in the cold
Boots on every street
Settlers took the road
Left their homes behind
With ash on their sleeves
And worry on their minds
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Capital, please"
At the iron gate
"Got a bad man comin'
And it's gettin' late"
President in a silk chair
Sippin' something sweet
While the world outside
Kept beatin' dusty feet
[Chorus]
We came for help
We came for help
Don't turn us away
We came for help
Raider scum is near
And the night won't wait
We came for help
We came for help
[Verse 2]
He looked at the map
With a ring on his hand
Talked of who to save
And who to take a stand
Rich drinks on the table

And the night won't wait

We came for help

[Chorus]
We came for help
We came for help
Don't turn us away
We came for help
Raider scum is near
And the night won't wait
We came for help
We came for help
