ZZ Ward - Til The Casket Drops Lyrics

ZZ Ward Lyrics

"Til The Casket Drops"

It was the coldest night of the year
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere
The moon was just a sliver
The light was fading
The war was on its way
And we were waiting

You asked me how long I'd stay by your side
So I answered with only just one reply

'Til the casket drops
'Til my dying day
'Til my heartbeat stops
'Til my legs just break
Whoa, oh, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh
'Til the casket drops

A house made out of glass will surely shatter
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders
The ground, it started shaking
The bombs are falling
We could've walked away
We had a warning

You asked me how long I'd stay by your side
So I answered with only just one reply

'Til the casket drops
'Til my dying day
'Til my heartbeat stops
'Til my legs just break
Whoa, oh, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh
'Til the casket drops

So lay your burden down, baby
Lead me out the door
We can't escape this ricochet
I'm ready for this war

So lay your burden down, baby
Lead me out the door
We can't escape this ricochet
I'm ready for this war

'Til the casket drops
'Til my dying day
'Til my heartbeat stops
'Til my legs just break

'Til the casket drops
'Til my dying day
'Til my heartbeat stops
'Til my legs just break
Whoa, oh, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, whoa, oh
'Til the casket drops
