Ready for War Songtext
von The Barr Brothers

In the violence of the morning
I′m as wrong as I am free
And Saint Cecilia
Holds a candle out for me

It's an obligated offer
But I′ll accept it just the same
It's better than trying
Not to feel anyone else's pain

I′m not talking about beauty
Don′t feel like speaking anymore
'Cause when it finds me
I′m ready for war
I'm ready for war
I′m ready for war

Now they're burning down the temples
Of some long forgotten grace
And Shiva sits
With that look upon her face


And if you think you′re done pretending
That you don't feel it anymore
And win or lose
Say I'm ready for war
I′m ready for war

The heart screams
Is this what you wanted?
Blood on your hands
To feel something of your own
Everybody does

It was raining in Savannah
And you kept your apron on
While we danced slowly
To that Van Morrison song

Well, you brought me to the vanguard
Let me see behind the door
And in my fury
I said I′m ready for war
I'm ready for war
I′m ready for war
I'm ready for war
I′m ready for war
I'm ready for war
