Ready for the War |
| Tonight we will speak about beauty |
| Tonight we will speak about truth |
| Tonight we will speak of duty |
| And the promises of youth |
| Tonight I will be all I have promised |
| Tonight you will breath through my skin |
| This night every lie will be honest |
| And our future will begin |
| I’m ready for the war — ready for the heat |
| Choose your battleground, now |
| Why don’t we do it in the street? |
| There will be no peace tonight |
| No angels at the door |
| You are ready for a fight |
| And I am ready for the war |
| Tonight we will sit down in splendor |
| Tonight even beggars will feast |
| Tonight every bite will be tender |
| As moonlight through the trees |
| Tonight I will swallow your courage |
| Tonight you will feast on my heart |
| This night every soul will be savaged |
| And we’ll tear this world apart |
| I’m ready for the war — ready for the heat |
| Choose your battleground, now |
| Why don’t we do it in the street? |
| There will be no peace |
| No angels at your door |
| You are ready for the beast |
| And we are ready for the war |
| Tonight we will love without mercy |
| Tonight we will glory in greed |
| Tonight I will beg you to hurt me |
| Or finally set me free |
| I’m ready for the war — ready for the heat |
| Choose your battleground, now |
| Why don’t we do it in the street? |
| There will be no peace |
| No angels at your door |
| You are ready for the beast |
| And we are ready for the war |
