Through a War Geordie Greep

[Verse 1]
Tonight we're gonna drink 'til the streets sound like music
And the music is just noise
Tonight we're gonna drink 'til I look like Hercules
Come on, gather 'round, boys
Come close, listen in
The year was 1862
We took up arms after the war was through
We knew that we could take what was left
The city was ours
We burned down their churches
We built an arcade

[Pre-Chorus]
I was a natural leader, to whom the tribesmen bowed
I strolled around in the Genеral's clothes and had the only gun
I fired warning shots and madе the children dig
I tortured all insurgents; I ruled with an iron fist

[Chorus]
But for you, my love, I offered only grace
At the very first sight of you, I lay myself prostrate
For your touch, I'd have conquered every village in the land
I would have disemboweled myself just to hold your hand

[Post-Chorus]
I saw you appear like a dream between trees
I knew I’d have to get you to live with me
Did you deceive? Maybe so
But still, I breathe for you alone
