lyrics

Verse
I’ve heard it said before
Don’t win the battle and lose the war
Chasing after the settling of a score
Will only leave you lying dead on the floor
In my chest lies a purple heart
Bruised and battered from being torn apart
On my way across the galaxies and stars
As I tried to find an audience with Mars

Pre-Chorus:
And get the god of war on my side
But my trouble multiplied when he said

Chorus:
Little girl, little girl
You’re so far away from your world
And all this time you spent
Laboring for revenge
Won’t amount to anything
You’re a peasant and he’s the king
But if you really wanna lay him low
My price is your immortal soul
So I say let it go

Verse:
So blind and full of rage
I signed my name and I promised to pay his wage
All at once I could see laid out before me
King, and country and what’s left of my family
Then in my chest, that old purple heart
Started pounding like it wanted to depart
And head back to the warmth of home and hearth
To the love of the ones who held me close from the start

Pre-chorus:
Then the god of war saw my eyes
And again, to my surprise, he said

Chorus

Verse:
He said
Young one let me tell you true
You poison him it’ll poison you
Not right away but before it’s thru
Your heart will turn dark with an evil you never knew (x2)

Pre-chorus:
And I said
Listen to me Mars
I’ve traveled cross the stars
I’ve come way too far
To leave things as they are

Chorus II:
And he said
Little girl little girl
As you wish I unfurl
The flag of death over his head
By end of day he will be dead
But you will feel his pain and yours
And all your family endures
You’ll lose your life when he loses his
I hope you feel that it’s worth it
I told you let it go
You didn’t let it go

Ending:
So now I’m here lying dead on the floor
I won the battle but I lost the war
