No time for tears, no time for emotions
A thousand beats a second is your worth
Before, I protected you; before, I watched over you
From so many bloodthirsty monsters and from a thousand other dangers.
For you, I made them all harmless
For you, I even eliminated all your foes from afar
No more will an unfriendly hand harm you
Whether day or night, I am there always.
Chorus:
For you, I would set the world on fire1
For you, I would grab hot iron from the coals
For you, I would throw myself in the path of an oncoming train
And in that last instance, the bombs would start to disarm
For you, I would suffer the most unbearable of tortures
For you, I would grab hot iron from the coals
Or snatch a stray bullet from the air
Because your life is worth protecting, whether the bullets hit or miss.
And yeah, I'll take on the whole world
Before they start giving you orders
And don't worry, I won't take away your struggles
You'll be stronger because of it, and also to conquer your demons2
Chorus
Is there no end
In the battle over you?
Was it just about people
Don't they have faces?
They can't win
But only lose
And for them to say that
I'm right here. Believe me, I will.
Chorus
