This is a call to arms Gather soldiers Time to go to
war This is a battle song Brothers and sisters Time
to go to war Did you ever believe?
Were you ever a dreamer? Ever imagine,
heart open and free? Did you ever deny?
Were you ever a traitor? Ever in love with your bloodlust
ending? This is a call to arms Gather soldiers Time
to go to war This is a battle song Brothers and sisters
Time to go to war Ever wanna be free?
Do you even remember? Wanna be God,
the devil, like me? Did you ever wanna just stop?
Do you wanna surrender or fight for victory?
Here we are, at the start I can feel the beating of
our hearts Here we are, at the start Darkness falls
Here comes the rain To wash away The past and the names
Darkness falls Here comes the rain To end it all The
blood and the game Far, far away In a land that time
can't change Long, long ago In a place of hearts
and ghosts Far, far away In a land that time canâ?

A Call To Arms
Released by 30 Seconds to Mars, "A Call To Arms" stands as a defining track from their 2009 album This Is War. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of alternative rock and theatrical pop, characterized by Jaron Lewisman's soaring vocals and dynamic shifts in intensity. It serves as a thematic centerpiece for the record, which explores themes of war, peace, and human connection through a grand, cinematic lens. The recording captures the group's evolution during a pivotal era in their career, marking a departure from their earlier indie-folk sound toward a more polished, arena-ready production style that would define their mainstream success in the late 2000s.
