We Go to War (Acoustic) Lyrics – Within Temptation

[Verse 1]
I never thought I’d be here so unreal to me
I can’t believe my own eyes believe my own mind
The reality of cruelty in vain
The freedom lives of millions at stake
Our hearts will be invincible we will be unforgivable

[Pre-Chorus]
Won’t stand aside when our loved ones dying

[Chorus]
And when we hear the call we go to war
And leave it all now to bring it back again
Now nothing else really matters
We’ll defy ’till the end
Oh when we hear the call we go to war

[Verse 2]
Pounding strikes like rain I know they’re chasing me
It won’t be the last time but they’ll die while they try
It’s a hell on earth I want to awake
There’s no rest at all the blows that we take
Our hearts are still invincible it’s so unforgivable

[Pre-Chorus]
Won’t stand aside when our loved ones dying

[Chorus]
And when we hear the call we go to war
And leave it all now to bring it back again
Now nothing else really matters
We’ll defy ’till the end
Oh when we hear the call we go to war

[Chorus]
And when we hear the call we go to war
And leave it all now to bring it back again
Now nothing else really matters
We’ll defy ’till the end
Oh when we hear the call we go to war
