And named themselves after a map in COD4."

Crossfire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lautan bergelora
Mimpiku telah hilang ditelan gelombang
Kita yang terleka menanti
Dengan sejuta warna harapan

Engkau tak mengerti mimpiku
Bagaikan suatu misteri hitam
Apa sebenarnya misteri

Akan membawa suatu bencana

Aku tahu siapakah
Yang bakal menghancurkannya
Cinta kita

Hasrat yang kita mimpikan
Menggapai satu harapan
Kau dan aku
Hanya tinggal harapan oh

Andai engkau tahu
Rahsia apakah yang tersembunyi
Sambut tanganku bawalah daku
Ke rimba yang dalam di dalamnya

Aku tahu siapakah
Yang bakal menghancurkannya
Cinta kita

Hasrat yang kita mimpikan
Menggapai satu harapan

Kau dan aku
Hanya tinggal harapan oh
