Bring out the cannons, boys, we need to move out.
You know this love won't go without a fight.
Said we're at war, grab your guns, man your stations,
We're gonna take 'em out tonight.
Call in the boots, planes, grab all that you've got.
'Cause both of us know this won't end well.
We'll tear them down, down, down
I'll look you in the eyes, here's what I'll tell:
You know if there's a hell, I'll take a you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there.
I swear, I swear, I swear.
I swear I'll take you there.
Keep it locked, my precious heart.
Don't let them get it. Don't, don't let her get it.
I'd rather she come down to the river and watch me drown,
Instead of taking my life and throwing it to the ground.
So come on boys, full speed ahead (she's fast approaching)
And we are surely good as dead (if we do nothing)
I just want to go to bed, but you just sit here and pretend
That you're not screaming in my head.
You say,
You know if there's a hell, I'll take you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there,
I swear, I swear, I swear.
I swear I'll take you there.
What happened to our hearts?
What happened to our hearts of gold?
What happened to our love?
What happened, what happened to the love that we used to hold?
I'm taking it out, letting it in, breathin' it out, breathin' it in,
Letting it all sink in.
I've been shot down, there's not much more I can do for us to win.
If I go down, I'll take you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there.
If there's a hell I'll take you there,
I swear, I swear, I swear.
I swear I'll take you there.
