0:00Where Duty Calls (Digitally Remastered, 1996) - Patti Smith
0:59In a room in Lebanon
1:02They silently slept
1:07They were dreaming crazy dreams
1:11In foreign alphabet
1:16Lucky young boys
1:19Cross on the main
1:24The driver was approachin'
1:28The American zone
1:33The wavin' of hands
1:37The tiniest train
1:41They never dreamed
1:45They'd never wake again
1:49Voice of the Swarm
1:51We follow we fall
1:53Kneel for priests
1:54Some wail at walls
1:58Flag on a match head
1:59God or the law
2:03And they'll all go together
2:08Where duty calls
2:29United children
2:33Child of iran
2:38Parallel prayers
2:42Baseball Koran
2:47I'll protect Mama
2:50I'll lie awake
2:55I'll die for Allah
2:58In a holy war
3:04I'll be a ranger
3:07I'll guard the streams
3:12I'll be a soldier
3:16A sleeping marine
3:20Voice of the Swarm
3:22We follow we fall
3:24Kneel for priests
3:26Some wail at walls
3:29Flag on a match head
3:30God or the law
3:34And they'll all go together
3:39Where duty calls
4:01In the heart of the ancient
4:05Ali smiles
4:08In the soul of the desert
4:10The sun blooms
4:14Awake
4:22Into the glare of all out little wars
4:35Who pray to salute
4:45The coming and dying of the moon
4:52Oh sleeping sun
5:19Assassin in prayer
5:22Laid a compass deep
5:27Exploding dawn
5:30And himself as well
5:36Their eyes for his eyes
5:39Their breath for his breath
5:44All to his end
5:48And a room in Lebanon
5:53Dust of scenes
5:56Erase and blend
6:00May the blanket of kings
6:04Cover them and him
6:09Voice of the Swarm
6:11We follow we fall
6:13Kneel for priests
6:15Some wail at walls
6:18Flag on a match head
6:19God or the law
6:23And they'll all go together
6:28Where duty calls
6:43Forgive them father
6:46They know not what they do
6:50From the vast portals
6:51Of their consciousness
6:56They're calling to you
7:03Room in Lebanon
7:07There's room in Lebanon
