Verse 1:
          G
Ring the bells!

This time I mean it
         G
Bid the hatred "fair thee well"
               G
Give back the pieces of my Jesus
          G                   G   
Take your counterfeit to hell!


           G
Bang the drums!

This means war
             G
But not the kind you're waiting for
       G
We say mercy won't be rationed here
       G
That's what we're fighting for

Pre-Chorus 1:
   C
If all is fair in love and war
     C                             G
Then what the hell is loving even for?
   C
If we can't sing it loud enough
      C                       C
We'll keep on adding voices up

Verse 2:
           G
Move your feet

You tiny people
             G
You've been hiding for so long
              G
Behind your statues and your steeples
           G                    G   
Does that hit too close to home?


       G
I got faith to move a mountain
        G
And to watch that mountain move
               G
It's time for words to fall like thunder
         G
Sound of justice breaking through

Pre-Chorus 2:
   C
If all is fair in love and war
     C                             G
Then what the hell is loving even for?
    C
The world laughs and the martyrs sing
    C                              C
But love breaks through the cavalry

Chorus:
          G    G

          G    G

You called me boy instead of son
-nc-
And I ain't the only one

Was in the throneroom of a kingdom
                           G  G   
Where I found that I belong


        G
I ain't scared to face a fortress
       G
I have seen them fall before
       G
With broken bones you've built it
       G                       G   
But it crumbles board by board

Pre-Chorus 3:
   C
If all is fair in love and war
     C                             G
Then what the hell is loving even for?

If we can't sing it loud enough

We'll keep on adding voices up
