Cease Fire

(Album: Lotus - 2012)

Inglorious soldier I stand 'til the end
A golden revolver I hold in my hand
The trigger that I never squeeze
The war that brings me to my knees
I'm tired of fighting for peace
When I am alone on the front line
I need you to stand next to me

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire, make it stop

Drop down your defenses, I'm raising my flag
This fighting is hopeless, we need this to end
It's going too far, don't know where it began
We're hurting each other and I can't pretend
I'm trying to help you to see
The casualties that we both leave
It's all so unnecessary
Can't you hear me scream?

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire, make it stop

Rolling out
White flag, I surrender
Hear me now, make it stop, we can do better
Pain and hurt, living in fear, wasted energy
In the end, what is it worth? What is our legacy?
Rolling out
White flag, I surrender
Hear me now, make it stop, we can do better
Pain and hurt, living in fear, wasted energy
In the end, what is it worth? What is our legacy?
Follow me now, I'm calling out
Somebody help me, I need you now
Why can't you see? Gotta believe me
Fighting for peace, need a release
Won't you come with me?
I'm on your side, swallow your pride
You can confide in me, army of one
Rise of the sun, shining for all to see
Enemy's none, victory's won, no negativity
We can be free, we have the key to own our destiny

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
(Throw down your weapons)
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire, make it stop
