Storm clouds won't bother to gather
Sheet cashed in, cut the tether
She's gone, its no mistake
The angels have come too late
They've come too late

In my hands I hold the truth

That something sure that hits you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Floodwaters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes

Then she turned off the headlights
Cranked the radio, ran the red lights
Never found the missing brad
Window's dark but they're all inside
Their all inside

In my hands I hold the truth

That something sure that hits you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Floodwaters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes

A general without an army
I stopped looking, then they found me
On the hill a horn is blowing
It's over man, you just don't know it

That something sure that hits you
Pure flesh and bone to rip through
Don't let em tie you to the stake
Whatever it takes
Floodwaters raise the ramparts
I'll meet you now wherever you are
I'm here until the front line breaks
Whatever it takes

Climb backwards through the red room
A jungle of thieves to get through
Time's up
How long you gonna waste?
Whatever it takes
So Jack, grab paper and pen
I'll say it once, we'll say it again
Loosen the core until it shakes
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes
