Sangtekst: Jakob Dylan. Women and Country. Down On Our Shield.

Oh, it's a struggle, it's a scream
It's all give and no take
Whatever it is, now
It's right up to our waist

Oh, it's a pity it's a shame
To see it all slip away
I've seen your way, babe
But never this way

We hold our ground
We don't kneel
If we go down, we go
Down on our own shield

Oh, it's a river of tears
And we're in over our ears
In the darkened rise
Often with our better years

It's a bottomless well
It's a little overkill
It's the end of a dragon's tail
That's whipping around our ears

But we don't bow
We make no deals
And we go down, we go
Down on our own shield

In this corner ladies and gentlemen
Awaiting all alone
My love for her is strong

We scaled through this
To be here tonight
It's not the kind of trick
That you get to pull twice

Oh, it's an ambush, girl
It's a cold bloody
And low down, dirty word
See them yellow lanterns walk
A circle around our bitter verve

Oh, it's a term force
It's often with their heads
They don't learn
We do this over the dead bodies
Before it's over, mine or yours

We don't beg for mercy deals
We go down, we go
Down on our own shield
Down we go
Down on our own shield
Down we go
