Trebuchet

You're here for a reason, so you better get to speaking
Before we slam the gate and ruin something good
You think you're gonna quit just throw it in and end the bit
You should question first if you even could

Because the castle walls we built will stop the advance
Until they launch their trebuchet
I'm riding off to battle with a broken lance
And armor made of paper mache

Our walls are falling down
Our hope is starting to fade
They're going for the crown
They launch the trebuchet
Trebuchet
Yeah

It's been a cruel December, we're outclassed and we're outnumbered
We're out in the open taking heavy fire
I really hate to admit it, but I don't trust that new lieutenant
He's got charm, but he's an awful liar

And soon we're lying in a ditch their ambush went without a hitch
Our noble charge was nothing to gain
Could someone call the medic and tell him "bring the anesthetic"
So we can momentarily numb the pain

Our walls are falling down
Our hope is starting to fade
They're going for the crown
They launch the trebuchet
Our walls can't take much more
As it starts to look like rain
They'll leave you drunk and poor, they launch the trebuchet
Trebuchet
Yeah

Fire, fire in the air, guns and swords and clashing bashing
Smashing skulls with deadly stares
Here's to all the years of fasting
Fire, Fire in the air, duck and cover, break and tear
Their forces till their barely standing
Drop these burdens that we bare

The crumbling and rumbling and tumbling down
What's the end game for your inner peace
The bombs are blowing up the town
Fire, fire in the air, cannons fired, armor pierced
These strangers that I'll come to miss
I can't believe it's come to this

Our walls are falling down
Our hope is starting to fade
They're going for the crown
They launch the trebuchet
Our walls can't take much more
As it starts to look like rain
They'll leave you drunk and poor
They launch the trebuchet

Our wall's in pieces
We came for blood to end the reign
I hate this grey it's all the same
You'll never outlive fame
We launch the trebuchet
Trebuchet
Yeah
