ANNIHILATED LOVE

(album: HORIZONS - 2021)

Looking back I don't know how
I had missed it before
You secured the armaments, walled off
Ready for war

You let the bombs just float away
One by one
Surprise attack
Why hesitate?
Damage done

It's armageddon in your mind
You took the first shot every time
There were no prisoners or friends
Now it's the end
Strangers again

It was anarchy with your weaponry
You killed off all that was
Burning everything till there was nothing
Brought death down from above
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

There would be no armistice
Battle lines have been drawn
You would give no haven
Its scorched earth sound the alarms

You firebombed the memories
One by one
Becoming instant enemies
Hit and run

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb
I surrender I
Lift the white flag high
But now you're out for blood
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

The tragedy
Of the war we made
Was that I just couldn't surrender you
The casualty
Was only ever me
Still I run through the flames for you
Evacuate
I'm a target marked
Bullseye on my broken heart
I amputate
I'm torn apart
And you got what you wanted
You got what you wanted to
Is that what you wanted?

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
