lyrics

bend to thrill 
this wasted, tortured will 
guards stand down
 she will shoot to kill  

talk out loud 
when the troops, they rally round
 love, hold on 
you're hurt but you've done no wrong
 and when they sound the horns
 you know i'm so damn proud  

these nights lend a sympathetic ear 
some moments walk too soft to hear
 the cold floor lends a warm embrace
 bombs away
 she is here to stay  

stop, don't run 
though your face is hung 
on your knees 
no shame s
peak your pleas 
and you can shine your medals 
when the morning comes  

we all know you didn't come to die
 don't play to win, just say you'll try 
temptation leaves a sour taste
 bring the fight 
she will move to strike

  i'm calling out loud now,
you answer with goodbye
 your throat is so closed and
it's silent and frozen
 just open up wide,
in the crosshairs, don't hide, hands up high
 take four steps, fall two back, learn to cry

  the lions cracked the cage, paw over paw,
they're eyeing low
 the hawks can sense your rage,
they know you're raw, they're circling slow  

sound the call 
she won't hit the wall
