Here for War

[Verse 1]
You looked a gift horse right in the mouth
Reached down its throat, and tore its tongue out
Taking bites out of the hand that feeds
Now there’s nothing left for you when you’re most in need
You become the heart that pumps the blood of defeat
Perceptions of grandeur, when you’re wanted the least
How can you be so wrong and not see it?
Empty words on your tongue with no meaning

[Chorus]
(I've found a way to carry on)
I've found a way to carry on
In the absence of you, I'm standing strong
Now I've got a chance to right your wrongs
And even if you stay, to me you’re already gone

[Verse 2]
Nothing to offer
So much to lose
Can’t stand a leash
So you fashioned a noose
No self-control
Left to your devices
And yet again you succumb to your vices
I prayed you won't fail, but I knew that you would
You never rose to the occasion, and I knew you never could
Don't try
(Don't try)
To apologize
You’re not sorry
I see it in your eyes
You never bothered to step up to the plate
You were nothing, but a second choice in the first place

[Chorus]
I've found a way to carry on
In the absence of you, I'm standing strong
Now I've got a chance to right your wrongs
And even if you stay, to me you’re already gone

[Bridge]
I won't bow
(I won't bow)
Or give up now
(Or give up now)
Enough is enough
I'm here for war
(Already gone)
I'm here for war

[Pre-Chorus]
I've found a way to carry
(Carry)

[Chorus / Outro]
I've found a way to carry on
In the absence of you, I'm standing strong
Now I've got a chance to right your wrongs
And even if you stay, to me you're already gone
I've found a way to carry on
In the absence of you, I'm standing strong
Now I've got a chance to right your wrongs
And even if you stay
I'm here for war
(I won't bow)
I'm here for war
