The Clockwork Dolls - Impartial (The Battle) lyrics

Impartial is my battle cry For here we stand or here we die A firefight to light the sky; The time for reckoning is nigh Their ships outman us one to three Your choices now could set you free I ask you all to fight with me; A challenge for the world to see Prime your guns and whet your blades; My fury now will be dealt in spades We'll strike them fast, before night fades And bring them down, this cursed brigade We've come too far to let this go; I'll live up here or die below Make sure the guns are primed to blow; Our moment thrives in this tableau It is fair to bring them all to a fight we cannot win? To ask for proof of loyalty they gave me on a whim? Is this fear and loathsome doubt my last remaining sin Or can I tamp this feeling down to fit inside my skin? Was I a fool to leave the earth to chase this fairy dream? For suddenly this carefree life has lost its lustrous sheen Am I the leader, that they need, a venging Pirate Queen Or just a girl who's lost her way, a cog in the machine? But none of them have turned away and none of them have fled Despite the possibility tomorrow we'll be dead The fears of my mortality take flight inside my head And supplant the notes of strategy compiled in their stead Impartial is my battle cry For here we stand or here we die A firefight to light the sky; The time for reckoning is nigh Their ships outman us one to three Your choices now could set you free I ask you all to fight with me; A triumph for the world to see Prime your guns and whet your blades; My fury now will be dealt in spades We'll strike them fast, before night fades And bring them down, this cursed brigade They won't decide who'll win and lose Our story's based on what we choose I've come too far and paid my dues Our triumph will be front page news We've come too far to let this go; I'll live up here or die below Make sure the guns are primed to blow; Our moment thrives in this tableau Prime your guns and whet your blades My fury now will be dealt in spades We'll strike them fast before night fades And bring them down, this cursed brigade
