[Instrumental hook] [Verse 1 — Rap] I’ve been through towns where they spit when I pass, Smile in my face, put a knife in my back. Everybody wants a hero till the hero has scars, Till he comes from the dark and he talks like the dark. I know what it costs when you care too much, Every hand that you hold gives the world one to cut. So I learned not to need, learned to live on the road, Then you gave me a reason to come back home. I don’t need their blessing, I don’t need their praise, I’ve been called every name, I’ve got nothing to save. They can send every shadow, every beast, every blade— They won’t get through me. [Pre-Chorus — Sung] I don’t believe in fate, But I believe in you. So let the darkness come— You know what I’ll do. [Chorus — Sung] Whatever it takes, I’ll bleed for your name. I’ll carry the curse, I’ll walk through the flame. Let the whole world hunt me, Let ’em call me insane— I’d lose everything Just to keep you safe. Whatever it takes, Whatever remains, When everyone leaves you, I’ll still stay the same. No promise too heavy, No distance too great— For you, I swear, Whatever it takes. [Post-Chorus — Rap/Sung] No throne, no gold, no heaven above, Could pull me away from the ones that I love. I’ve seen what the world does, I know how it breaks— So I’ll stand between you And whatever it takes. [Verse 2 — Rap] I’ve had silver on my shoulder, red under my nails, Seen the innocent judged while the guilty prevail. They keep asking which evil is lesser to choose, But the answer gets simple when it comes down to you. I’ll cross every border, put a price on my head, Follow footprints through the forest, through the kingdom of dead. I don’t care who commands me, what the prophecy says— I decide who I am with the choices I make. And I know I go quiet, I know I look cold, But I carry your voice everywhere that I go. Every fight that I finish, every road that I take— Brings me back to you. [Pre-Chorus — Sung] I don’t believe in fate, But I believe in you. So let the darkness come— You know what I’ll do. [Chorus — Sung] Whatever it takes, I’ll bleed for your name. I’ll carry the curse, I’ll walk through the flame. Let the whole world hunt me, Let ’em call me insane— I’d lose everything Just to keep you safe. Whatever it takes, Whatever remains, When everyone leaves you, I’ll still stay the same. No promise too heavy, No distance too great— For you, I swear, Whatever it takes. [Bridge — Sung] When the road runs out, When the last light fades, When there’s no way home And no one left to save— Call my name, I’ll come anyway. Even death won’t keep me away. [Breakdown — Rap] Let ’em come with an army, Let ’em come with a crown. Let ’em burn every bridge, I’ll still hunt them down. I’ve got one thing left That the world couldn’t take— The choice to stand beside you, Whatever it takes. [Final Chorus — Sung] Whatever it takes, I’ll bleed for your name. I’ll carry the curse, I’ll walk through the flame. Let the whole world hunt me, Let ’em call me insane— I’d lose everything Just to keep you safe. Whatever it takes, Through the fear and the pain, If the whole world forgets you, I’ll remember your name. No promise too heavy, No distance too great— For you, I swear, Whatever it takes. [Final Post-Chorus — Rap/Sung] No throne, no gold, no heaven above, Could pull me away from the ones that I love. I’ve seen what the world does, I know how it breaks— So I’ll stand between you And whatever it takes. [Outro — Sung] I don’t believe in fate, But I believe in you. So let the darkness come— You know what I’ll do.
