Rope On Fire
Morphine Lyrics

Hand over hand up the lifeline, luckily the knots stay tight.
Despite the danger we are facing, we are holding on tightly to the rope, hoping the knots will hold and keep us safe.

Silhouettes of the two of us climbing,
As we climb, our shapes are outlined against the fiery backdrop of danger behind us.

Climbing up a rope on fire.
Our only hope of survival is to ascend a rope that is ablaze, with flames licking at our heels.

Trapped in a room in a fortress,
We are locked in a room, with no way out of the seemingly impenetrable fortress.

Running outta air to breathe.
We are quickly running out of breathable air, with no way to escape.

Only seconds to go and we'll break free,
We are seconds away from breaking free from our captivity and escaping the danger.

I didn't think that we would reach.
Even though we knew the odds were against us, we never gave up hope that we would escape.

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb.
The responsibility of saving ourselves lies solely on our shoulders, and no one else's.

And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone.
We need to act swiftly to save ourselves before we run out of breathable air.

I'll call for backup, you start to scream.
As we work together to disconnect the bomb and save ourselves, we communicate with each other through the chaos.

It's not the first time we've been in this dream.
We've faced danger and strife before, but every time we overcome it, we become stronger and more resilient.

She ripped the wings right off my back.
Someone we trusted betrayed us and left us feeling helpless and without the means to fly away from danger.

She whispered deep, keep it on the track.
Despite the setback, we are urged to stay focused and continue on the path to safety.

She said you're no angel, no angel anymore.
The betrayal we faced has left us feeling less than the angels we once thought we were.

All the wheels are coming loose.
Everything around us is falling apart and we need to act quickly to save ourselves.

Close-up shot of a burning fuse.
We are faced with the ticking time bomb of danger, and every moment counts.

The sky is filled with question marks.
We are unsure of what the future holds, and fear the unknown.

Will the chains come apart?
We question if the rope we are climbing will hold or break under the weight of our escape.

These few seconds that I've left to go.
With only seconds left, every moment is precious and we must use them wisely to save ourselves.

Flames and chaos down below.
Beneath us, the flames continue to rage and the chaos of danger persists.

And the earth opens wide.
We feel the ground shaking beneath us, causing us to question if this is truly the end.

Got to climb a rope on fire.
Our only hope of survival is to continue climbing the rope, despite the perilous flames.

Look at the clock. Look at the clock.
Every second counts, and we are constantly aware of the ticking clock of danger.

Make it to the car but the car won't start.
Even when we think we have escaped, we are faced with yet another obstacle in our path.

Me try to move the car but there's no more time.
Time has run out and we must abandon the car as we continue our escape on foot.

We'll have to climb a rope on fire.
With no other options left, we must continue climbing the rope aflame, hoping it will lead us to safety.

Hand over hand up the lifeline,
We continue to climb the rope, hand over hand, with desperation in our hearts and hope in our minds.

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb.
The fate of our survival rests in our hands, and we must work together to overcome the danger.

Then save ourselves before the oxygen is gone.
Our time is running out, and we must act quickly to save ourselves before it's too late.

I'll call for backup. You start to scream.
In the midst of the chaos and danger, communication is key as we work together to overcome the odds.

It's not the first time we've been in this dream.
We have faced danger and challenges before, but each time we overcome them, we become stronger and more resilient.
