Lyrics

[00:08.12]
[00:14.07] It's a struggle, it's a shame
[00:17.88] It's all give and no take
[00:22.06] Whatever, it is now,
[00:25.36] it's right up to our waist
[00:29.26] It's a pity, it's a shame
[00:32.88] to see it all slip away
[00:36.60] I've seen you worried babe,
[00:40.59] but never this way
[00:44.68] We hold our ground,
[00:48.21] we don't kneel
[00:51.82] If we go down we go
[00:56.74] Down on our own shield
[00:59.99]
[01:01.29] It's a river of tears
[01:04.91] And we're in over our ears
[01:08.63] In the dark it rides off with our better years
[01:16.24] It's a bottomless well
[01:19.96] It's a little overkill
[01:24.50] It's the end of a dragon's tail
[01:27.75] That's whipping round our heels
[01:31.65] But we don't bow,
[01:34.81] we make no deals
[01:38.90] If we go down we go
[01:43.63] Down on our own shield
[01:46.70]
[01:49.80] In this corner ladies and gentlemen
[01:55.84] Weighing in, all along my love for her is strong
[02:05.03] We scaled pillars to here tonight
[02:11.81] It's not the kind of trick you get to pull twice
[02:18.13]
[02:17.94] It's an ambush girl
[02:21.42] A cold-blooded low down dirty world
[02:25.51] See them yellow lanters walk
[02:29.04] A circle around our bit of earth
[02:32.66] It's a turn for the worse
[02:36.47] It's off with their heads if they don't learn
[02:40.46]
[02:40.70] We do this over their dead bodies
[02:44.64] Before it's over mine or yours
[02:48.31] We don't beg for mercy dear
[02:55.93] If we go down we go
[03:02.37] Down on our own shield
[03:07.94] down we go
[03:14.26] Down on our own shield
[03:19.27] down we go
