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
