Fire

(album: In Gold Blood - 2011)

When I met you I was younger
Full of brimstone with a burning hunger
You broke the ice like a messiah
To my surprise you could not walk on water
You took my hand and lead me to the lights
To a bar where they sell fire on ice
And then you whisper in my ear this strange advice
“relax your trust”

We walk into the fire
We dance into the fire
I didn't lead you on
You came and dropped the bomb that blew me away
We walk into the fire
And the flames are getting higher
You came and dropped the bomb that blew me away

You smell like someone I remember
Senses hold on when your hearts surrender
You broke the mould like a pariah
You're born in lightning and you're raised in thunder

You took my hand and lead me to the lights
To a bar where they sell fire on ice
And then you whisper in my ear this strange advice
“relax your trust”
We walk into the fire
We dance into the fire
I didn't lead you on
You came and dropped the bomb that blew me away
We walk into the fire
And the flames are getting higher
You came and dropped the bomb that blew me away
