Whatever It Takes

Storm clouds won’t bother to gather



She cashed in, cut the tether



She’s gone, it’s no mistake



The angels have come too late



They’ve come too late



 



In my hands I hold the proof



 



That something’s sure to hit you



Pure flesh and bone to rip through



Don’t let ‘em tie you to the stake



Whatever it takes



Flood waters raise the ramparts



I’ll meet you now, wherever you are



I’m here until the frontline breaks



Whatever it takes



 



Then she turned off the headlights



Cranked the radio, ran the red lights



Never found the missing bride



Windows dark but they’re all inside



They’re all inside



 



In my hands I hold the proof



 



That something’s sure to hit you



Pure flesh and bone to rip through



Don’t let ‘em tie you to the stake



Whatever it takes



Flood waters raise the ramparts



I’ll meet you now, wherever you are



I’m here until the frontline breaks



Whatever it takes



 



A general without an army



I stopped lookin’, then they found me



On the hill a horn is blowin’



It’s over, man



You just don’t know it



 



That something’s sure to hit you



Pure flesh and bone to rip through



Don’t let ‘em tie you to the stake



Whatever it takes



Flood waters raise the ramparts



I’ll meet you now, wherever you are



I’m here until the frontline breaks



Whatever it takes



 



Climb backwards through the red room



A jungle of thieves to get through



Time’s up, how long you gonna wait?



Whatever it takes



So, Jack, grab paper and pen



I’ll say it once, won’t say it again



Loosen the core until it shakes



Whatever it takes
