Trigger
Bruderschaft feat. Clint Carney & System Syn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cradle in my arms
You are my destiny
I'll keep you from harm
Take all you want from me

The stillness of your skin
Haunts my memory
This longing from within
Do you long for me?

The moon goes over
The black with the sky
The time is near
I can see it in your eyes
Far from home
And gripped by fear
The only thing that keeps you here
Memories of the life on the run
Your time is up before it's begun
Your finger on the trigger & you're never gonna kill
As the world falls in on you

Cradling in your arms
I am your destiny
Your love is silent
When will you come for me?
The stillness of your heart
Haunts my memory
It's breaking me apart
When will you come for me?

The moon goes over
The black with the sky
The time is near
I can see it in your eyes
Far from home
And gripped by fear
The only thing that keeps you here
Memories of the life on the run
Your time is up before it's begun
Your finger on the trigger & you're never gonna kill
As the world falls in on you

The moon goes over
The black with the sky
The time is near
I can see it in your eyes
Far from home
And gripped by fear
The only thing that keeps you here
Memories of the life on the run
Your time is up before it's begun
Your finger on the trigger & you're never gonna kill
As the world falls in on you

The moon goes over
The black with the sky
The time is near
I can see it in your eyes
Far from home
And gripped by fear
The only thing that keeps you here
Memories of the life on the run
Your time is up before it's begun




Your finger on the trigger & you're never gonna kill
As the world falls in on you
