Ready For War
Throw the Fight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With bloody wrists and Weapons home
We light the fires and we watch them burn
Watch them burn
And I'd never give you away
The smell of me running through your veins
If all my dreams come true
All this will fade away
Try to start a fight to await the war
Whilst all our fists break down the door
Try to start a fight to await the war
Broken bottles and bloodstains on the floor
Yeah we're ready to fight
With raised fists and bloodshot eyes
Yeah we're ready to die
Yeah we're ready to die
Your shredded heart
It lies in ruins
You taught yourself
That its all my fault
All my fault
I'm sick of you
The only words I hear
The power got you
And I never cared
Never cared
If all my dreams come true
All this will fade away
Until we reach the tip
I'll lie right here and wait
Try to start a fight to await the war
Whilst all our fists break down the door
Try to start a fight to await the war
Broken bottles and bloodstains on the floor
Yeah We're to fight
With raised fists and bloodshot eyes
Try to start a fight to await the war
Are you ready for war?
Cross my heart and I hope to die
I'm up to my knees
And I reach for the sky
Although the the stars are what I see
My shooting star flies away from me
Try to start a fight to await the war
Try to start a fight
Try to start a fight
Try to start a fight to await the war
Whilst all our fists break down the door
Break down the door
Break down the door
Are you ready for war?
Are you ready for war?
