Songtext Pawns & kings Alter Bridge

Pawns & kings

Tear down the walls and show your courage as you heed the call
Embarking on the journey yet to come
There is no time to waste
The wretched and the heartless take your future
If you let their will be done

Stand up and hold your ground
Don't let the bastards grind you down
It's time to show the Devil what we are
Surrender never more
Though deep inside, we're battle-worn
We'll nev?r let them tear this land apart
No

For all of th? hope that it brings
And though we're pawns, we could be kings
If we believe, against all odds we will survive, mm

Release the hounds of doom
Unsheathe the blade we cannot lose
We're fighting for the only thing we've known
And when it's said and done
Our victory is gained for love
A worthy sacrifice of flesh and blood
Oh

For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns, we could be kings
If we believe, against all odds we will survive
The last shall be first, give it time
If in the end we're still alive
Our victory will prove in time that we were right all along
We must stand up for all that we are
We must fight 'til the dawn
'Til the last of their kind are gone

Stand your ground, hold your head high
Your honor for your life
Stand your ground, don't compromise
Your courage, their demise

For the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns, we could be kings
The meek shall sing this song tonight
For all of the hope that it brings
And though we're pawns, we could be kings
If we believe, against all odds we will survive
The last shall be first, give it time
If in the end we're still alive
Our victory will justify that we are right where we belong

Pawns and kings, let sovereign wings give strength where there is none
Pawns and kings, the meek shall sing until God's will is done
