War for This Love

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I was raised on the narrow road

Every sermon said my love was wrong

Told my heart it would burn for wanting

So I learned to sing a soldier's song

Hid the boy I loved behind a hymn

Carried his name like a buried blade

Pre-Chorus

But the drum in my chest keeps marching

And the drum in my chest won't fade

Chorus

So I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Let the old ones curse my name

I will bear it like a crown

I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Marching forward marching loud

I will never lay it down

Verse 2

Thunder rolls and the rafters shake

Brothers beside me hold the line

One is gentle one is fierce

All of them bleeding just like mine

We were told our kind was wicked

We were told our kind was sin

Now we stand in the storm together

Let the gates of judgment swing

Pre-Chorus

And the drum in my chest keeps marching

And the drum in my chest won't fade

Chorus

So I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Let the old ones curse my name

I will bear it like a crown

I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Marching forward marching loud

I will never lay it down

Bridge

Oh-oh

Hold me when the horns are sounding

Oh-oh

Hold me when the arrows fly

Oh-oh

I am not afraid of dying

Oh-oh

I am only afraid to lie

Guitar Solo

Chorus

So I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Let the old ones curse my name

I will bear it like a crown

I go to war for this love

I go to war for this love

Marching forward marching loud

I will never lay it down

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Never lay it down

Whoa-oh whoa-oh

Never lay it down
