Struwwelpeter - To Arms (Album Version) Lyrics

You woke up with a taste for blood
You can hear the rain and feel the mud
It's time to face the fires and the flood
Strengthening your appetite
No, you won't go down without a fight
Let's hope they're preparing for a long night

Fight and fight until there's no-one left to
Hold you back, until there's no-one left who'll
Build you up to break you down
Stand your ground, you answer to nobody
You're the one they answer to, nobody
Can defeat you now

Just one face in an angry crowd
With the right whisper you are just as loud
They have to listen to a mushroom cloud
Step right up, then without a sound
Calmly smash that face into the ground
You strive to be exceptionally profound

Fight and fight until there's no-one left to
Hold you back, until there's no-one left who'll
Build you up to break you down
Stand your ground, you answer to nobody
You're the one they answer to, nobody
Can defeat you now

This is the moment, so show them
Their own putrid heartbeat
This altercation is one of many
You will repeat

And if you've got love inside you
You can take a beating or two
You'll survive and you'll be stronger
It'll make the journey longer

So show your hand
Take 'em down
Come in to land
Take 'em down
This call to arms was never planned...

Celebrate your victory
With another glass of gasoline
You're charging up your engine discretely

Fight and fight until there's no-one left to
Hold you back, until there's no-one left who'll
Build you up to break you down
Stand your ground, you answer to nobody
You're the one they answer to, nobody
Can defeat you now

Fight and fight until there's no-one left to
Hold you back, until there's no-one left who'll
Build you up to break you down
Stand your ground, you answer to nobody
You're the one they answer to, nobody
Can defeat you now

Fight and fight until there's no-one left to
Hold you back, until there's no-one left who'll
Build you up to break you down
Stand your ground, you answer to nobody
You're the one they answer to, nobody
Can defeat you now
