All of the wounded need to be saved Looked for a handout beyond the gates I need to know if it was worth it Raise the inferno and burn down to the bone All of the arrows that plunge into prey Are their promises of better days? I need to know if it was worth it Raise the inferno, because I would rather Die on my shield I would rather die on my shield All of the wounded need to be saved Looked for a handout beyond the gates I need to know if it was worth it Raise the inferno and burn down to the bone All of the arrows that plunge into prey Are their promises of better days? And I need to know if it was worth it Raise the inferno, because I would rather Die on my shield I would rather die on my shield Die on my shield Die on my shield Go Love's war rages on Love's war rages on Love's war rages on Love's war rages on Were our pains worth it? Together we fall apart Was our pains worth it? Together we fall apart Together we fall apart Together we fall apart Together we fall apart Together we fall apart
