Glen Hansard - Take The Heartland Lyrics






I’m gonna hide my heart behind the peacock’s fan,
And keep my friends real close, yeah, this is how it’s gonna go.
I’m gonna find my knife and run it through those stitches,
Throw my friends down in the ditches before they even know
what I’ve come here for.

Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- you’ll die in the end
Take the Heartland

I’m gonna grow my hair down to my face like a Fidel Castro;
like a Che Guevara or a Fidel Castro
And I’m gonna grant my folk my life’s one last wish
and I’m gonna take their life with a knife
and I’m gonna sit and wait, not fall

Take the Heartland with a sense of revenge
Take the Heartland and make it look easy
Take the Heartland- we’ll die in the end
Take the Heartland

Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?
Or should I kill you with this word?

You say sit, you say stand,
you say stop, you say go,
You say sit, you say stop,
You say what, you say no,
You say go, you say sit,
You say stand, you say stop,
You say go, you say sit,
And you sit and you watch us all.

Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?
Or should I kill you with this word?

Take the Heartland
Take the Heartland - your sense of revenge
Take the Heartland - you make it look easy
Take the Heartland

I set myself by the west, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the wish, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the watch, by the wall,
I set myself by the words, by the voice that I heard.

Glen Hansard Take The Heartland Comments
  1. G.... E....

    For some reason I think of Haymitch…..

  2. C.... ....

    The first HG soundtrack went hard as hell

  3. D.... W....

    I love it

  4. D.... W....

    is it just me or does this sound like a pearl jam song?

    D.... W....

    Omg yes!

  5. C.... N....

    XD Makes sense. Or maybe he's taunting the other tributes? Like, he's taunting them, torturing them before killing them? *shrugs* Just an idea. :D

  6. M.... M....

    This is a Clato song, like Cato singing to Clove."Should I kill you with my sword, yeah? Or should I kill you with this word?"The only person Cato would hesitate to kill with his sword would be Clove, so he would kill her with "this" word in order to make her leave and make things easier for both of them in the end.There is a part in the end of the song where he says what the other person says to him, and I think that it could be only Clove, ´cause he didn´t knew the others.Just my inrepertation

  7. N.... -....

    its the tribute from district 2 the worst kind!

  8. N.... -....

    CATO is alive!!!:(

  9. g.... l....

    oh you guys are saying cato like the human .-. i thought you guys were saying cat in spanish

  10. g.... l....

    why does everyone keep saying "CATO" .-.

  11. M.... M....

    The guy is amazing. Love u Glen!!!

  12. M.... ....

    Same that's what I thought

  13. A.... P....

    Cato, definitely.

  14. H.... S....

    6 dislikes. Gamemakers must have YouTube accounts.

  15. e.... r....

    5 people are from the capitol

  16. s.... ....

    It's the Republican National Anthem!

  17. I.... ....

    For me, this song is for Haymitch when he is drunk XD

  18. A.... D....

    Clove, this is so Clove.

  19. R.... F....

    Well, we're all entitled to our own opinions.

  20. R.... F....

    I don't think this belongs in the first Hunger Games book, because I think it is about the revolution and getting freedom from the capitol.

  21. C.... R....

    I think it looks like the revolution in the third book, so it looks like Katniss and Gale and the guys from the other districts that are fighting for freedom.It doesn't match with Cato, he is cruel.

  22. b.... l....

    so we have the sweet and soothing songs. Then the sad ones. Last we have the loud rock'n roll song for Cato. Wow we go random places in this soundtrack

  23. J.... ....

    Everyone thinks Cato, but it's about taking back the "Homeland" AKA Capitol. I think that it is for Gale if anyone, because Cato didn't have such an urgent need to take back the Capitol. I get the anger part and the sword part, but if you read the lyrics it just doesn't fit him I think.

  24. A.... C....

    Falling slowly...

  25. D.... B....

    Haymitch

  26. z.... ....

    It totally is Cato!!! And the thing the sword makes it make even more sense because in the hunger games use a sword as his weapon.

  27. x.... ....

    CATO!!!!!!!!

  28. S.... Z....

    Katniss's face doesn't belong in the background of this song -.-''

  29. S.... ....

    ugh this song is terrible

  30. K.... ....

    like the fidel castro.....nananan.. like the fidel castro
