Days of Decision (Demo) Phil Ochs

[Verse 1]
Oh, the shadows of doubt are in many a mind
Lookin' for an answer they're never gonna find
But they'd better decide 'cause they're runnin' out of time
For these are the days of decision

[Verse 2]
Oh, the games of stalling you cannot afford
Dark is the danger that's knockin' on the door
And the far-reachin' rockets say you can't wait anymore
For these are the days of decision

[Verse 3]
In the face of the people who know they're gonna win
There's a strength that's greater than the power of the wind
And you can't stand around when the ice is growing thin
For these are the days of decision

[Verse 4]
I've seen your heads hiding 'neath the blanket of fear
When the paths they are plain and the choices are clear
Oh, with each passin' day, boys, the cost is more dear
For these are the days of decision

[Verse 5]
There's many a cross that burns in the night
And the fingers of the fire are pointing as they bite
Oh, you can't let the smoke keep on blinding all your sight
For these are the days of decision
