War - Akissforjersey

The look on your face is a terrible thing

I kept telling myself we’re well if we sang

But I had a hard time believing it (believing it, believing it)

Neck deep and the tide on the rise

Pain in your heart, fear in your eyes

The voices ring out you won’t get out alive

The fire grows, the fire grows

Release my soul it’s coming home

So back down.

And now I know there’s more to this weary soul

Than this face that still haunts me It’s all out war and only the mirror knows

You’re still overwhelming me You’re still overwhelming me Lift up the banner

Dig out the graves

No more surrender

There’s hell to be paid

Tie down the hatches

Armor the gates

The war is within you

And there’s no escape

Lift up the banner, dig out the graves

Because hope is needed the most for the vessel breaking in the waves

Lift up the banner, dig out the graves!

And now I know there’s more to this weary soul

Than this face that still haunts me It’s all out war and only the mirror knows

You’re still overwhelming me You’re still overwhelming me The price of these vices is far to steep

You’re still overwhelming me The price of these vices is far to steep

You’re still overwhelming me The price of these vices is far to steep

You’re still overwhelming me Overwhelming me And cursed is this body lost from the light

That battles the soul and feeds on the vice

And I’m just a corpse cold dead and white

But YOU are the fire that brought me to life
