Down On Our Own Shield

It's a struggle, it's a shame

It's all give and no take

Whatever, it is now, it's right up to our waist

It's a pity, it's a shame to see it all slip away

I've seen you worried babe, but never this way

We hold our ground, we don't kneel

If we go down we go

Down on our own shield

It's a river of tears

And we're in over our ears

In the dark it rides off with our better years

It's a bottomless well

It's a little overkill

It's the end of a dragon's tail

That's whipping round our heels

But we don't bow, we make no deals

If we go down we go

Down on our own shield

In this corner ladies and gentlemen

Weighing in, all along my love for her is strong

We scaled pillars to here tonight

It's not the kind of trick you get to pull twice

It's an ambush girl

A cold-blooded low down dirty world

See them yellow lanters walk

A circle around our bit of earth

It's a turn for the worse

It's off with their heads if they don't learn

We do this over their dead bodies

Before it's over mine or yours

We don't beg for mercy dear

If we go down we go

Down on our own shield
