LyricsEdit
get on board
this train ain't gonna stop
where i'm going, i don't know
you know, you know, you know
wheels on fire
wings of nascent desire
punch your ticket, it's time to go
there's a force up around the bend
that drives this engine apart
are you with us, or against us?
are you with us, or against us, tonight?
it's alright
there's a matter of reckoning this fight
it's alright
are you with us, tonight?
it's alright
it's alright
it's alright
are you with us, tonight?
soon we'll fly
but on this eve we ride
a steel horse tied to dirt
the words, the words, the words
no words will suffice
against the sacrifice
for what is love, if not cause
my misdeeds will scurry home
dust & breath & bone
are you with us, or against us?
are you with us, or against us?
are you with us, are you with us?
are you with us, or against us, tonight?
it's a matter of 'us' & 'them' this fight
it's alright
are you with us, tonight?
it's alright
it's alright
it's alright
are you with us, are you with us?
are you with us, or against us, tonight?
are you with us, or against us?
are you with us, or against us, tonight?
