Friendly Fire
Blood Spencer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The surface of your heart
feels like old pergament
the wire around it
seems to clench it harder
each and every time
You´re trying to break it but you can not find the tools
trying to play the game without
knowing the rules

Please tell me:
Did you feel my fire, and if you did
where´s the melting point of wire?

Shoot, Shoot give it up for this
reload, save the last for me
and say: "Dead is what you should be!"

Shoot, Shoot give it up for this
reload, save the last for me
don´t try to hit your allies

Do you think you´ll worry?
I hope that you will not!
do anything but bury
bury your heart
Let it burn
and fuel the flames
watch the ashes fly free
towards the sun
watch them till they´re gone

Shoot, Shoot give it up for this
reload, save the last for me
and say: "Dead is what you should be!"

Shoot, Shoot give it up for this
reload, save the last for me
don´t try to hit your allies

All these
memories
all hope
wiped out
by your revenge

Don´t tell me you´ll worry?
I know you will not!
do anything but bury
bury your heart
Let it burn

I grew you gold
I grew you golden
I laid stars in your hand
they shone cold and
then you flew away
but remember
my stars will stay

Let it burn
and fuel the flames
watch the ashes fly free
towards the sun

Let it burn
and fuel the flames
lern how to play the game
watch the ashes




fly to the sun
until they´re gone
