This Is War Lyrics by Avery Watts

The Takeover

2011

[Verse 1]
(Go)
Look in the sky, the circle is rising
The second seal is broken, the red horse riding
The wolf is at your door and there’s no hiding
Get ready for the crimson to pour
Yeah, this is war

[Chorus]
War (it’s war)
War (that’s right)
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war

[Verse 2]
(Oh)
There’s no surrender, you will expire
All the paper tigers have caught on fire
We’re piling up the bodies and there’s your pyre
You really should have listened before
Now this is war

[Chorus]
War (it’s war)
War (that’s right)
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war
War (it’s war)
War (right)
War
No mercy, no bargains, no more
This is war

[Breakdown]
Soldiers prepare to engage in 3, 2, 1
Go
Squad up

[Bridge]
Heavenly Father, give me the strength to do what I must for myself
My people, and those without a voice to defend themselves
In the name of freedom
Amen

[Chorus]
War
War
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war
War (it’s war)
War (die)
War
No mercy, no bargains, no more
This is war

[Outro]
You wanna take us on?
You better bring an army
War
