Lover Under Fire

Darling,
I’m getting kind of tired
Of being a lover,
Under fire.
And darling,
Things will never get brighter
If I remain,
Under fire.
And I,
Am on my way.
Will you help
To keep my heart alive?
Give me silence,
And give me time.
Give me a good fall,
To fix my mind.
I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,
To burn your body,
But I cannot remain,
A lover under fire.
And I,
I wanna harbor my name,
Because time,
Is an endless highway.
And light,
Daring, it just ain’t.
Would you lighten the silence
In the dark that awaits?
I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,
To burn your body.
I could pledge my (unknown),
To your heart and your blood.
But I cannot remain,
A lover under fire.
I wanna die singing your favourite song,
In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off.
Smoking cigarettes 'til the fire starts,
'Til there’s nothing but a burnt cross and broken hearts.
I wanna live in the shadows of hell,
Making new to things I might have done
To you, can’t get away from my kind of sin,
There’s nothing left to burn and nowhere to run.
I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,
To burn your body,
I could pledge my (unknown),
To your heart and your blood.
But I cannot remain,
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
