  • We are ready for the siege
    We are armed up to the teeth
    Be careful how you live and breathe
    Release what's broken underneath

    How many times do you wanna die?
    How many ways do you wanna die?

    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Very carefully look over your shoulder

    We can laugh about it now
    We hope everything works out
    Be careful how you lick your wounds
    Believe that change is coming soon

    How many times do you wanna die?
    How many ways do you wanna die?

    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Very carefully look over your shoulder

    You used to do a little, but a little won't fly
    Right before you hit your prime
    That's when we fell in love, but not the first time

    Can I please you still?
    Remain in your father's will
    Or does it make you ill?

    Let us bruise their knees
    We went in straight for a defeat
    You will be relieved

    So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
    Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
    Misery inspires

    Your throwin' me cuts several times before
    Never noticed the size of the flow
    Make it be ignored

    Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
    Carefully look over your shoulder

    You said you believe, but believing won't fly
    Right before you hit your prime
    That's when we fell in love, but not the first time

    And when it's all over and you open your eyes
    You see the room turned on its side
    And you'll be lying down and over on the floor; signed,

    The Royal We [Repeats: x8]
