Prisoners Of War

One look
was all it took
to set this march in motion
and turn safe worlds upside down

Sparks flew
and then I knew
Spontaneous combustion
Catalyzing furious clouds

You and me and burning desire
Just let it rage - let's fight fire with fire
Admit defeat and watch the flames grow higher
Wave that white flag wanting me

It's a trap
That God set up
To give in to temptation
There's no way of backing down

All is fair in love and war
But not to those who cower
So I'll even up your odds
If you want to take one shot

There's only here and now, you know
Nothing will be certain for us forevermore
Surrender all conditions once you stand at this door
We're both prisoners of war
Prisoners of war

War... war... war... war...

Hearts beat
They are set free
as souls are taken hostage
Of destiny's plans

Blazing heat
Our bodies meet
in a truce between armies
Imminent danger of attack.

You and me - let's break the ceasefire
Just let it be - surrender desire
Come close to me so that we can conspire
to flout each single natural law.

It's a trap
That God set up
To give in to temptation
There's no backing down now

All is fair in love and war
But not to those who cower
So I'll even up your odds
If you want to take one shot

There's only here and now, you know
Nothing will be certain for us forevermore
Surrender all conditions once you stand at this door
We're both prisoners of war
Prisoners of war

Come, get me if you want it
Or run to live to fight another day
I'll let you steal a march on me
Get close, you're a big pretender
Impose your conditions of surrender
We'll find a way to learn to live in peace...

Let's make a truce tonight
'Cause I don't really wanna fight
All my defenses are down
As I lay down my guns

There's only here and now, you know
Nothing will be certain for us forevermore
Surrender all conditions once you stand at this door
We're both prisoners of war

You know,
Nothing will be certain for us forevermore
Surrender once you stand at this door
We're both prisoners of war
Prisoners of war

War... war... war... war... (Let's live in peace)
War... war... war... war... (Let's live in peace)
