The Fight

(album: Albatross - 2006)

Would you go to war for me, baby?
Would you cry for the weak
And die for the peace of men?
Oh how can we know?
You and I both don't
So lets make this boatload of excuses burn and sink

One day it all comes down to this
You can sink or swim
You can hit or miss
One day it all comes down
One day we all come down

I'll take my heart back and set the people free
I'll leave the dead to die and take who's coming with me
I'll take my heart back and set the people free
I'll leave the dead to die and take who's coming with me

Step back for all the world to see
Your life means all the world to me
I'll take all pain and suffering
But I'm such a sucker sometimes
Sometimes we don't know
So plug up those bullet holes
Oh you feel so close don't let go until I say
One day we'll drink to this and say
"Remember when we died, we went out in flames!"
One day we'll drink to this and say
"Remember when we died, we went out..."

I'll take my heart back and set the people free
I'll leave the dead to die and take who's coming with me
I'll take my heart back and set the people free
I'll leave the dead to die... there will be blood in the streets
