Darling,
I´m getting kind of tired
Of being a lover,
Under fire.
And darling,

Things will never get brighter
If I remain,
Under fire.
And I,
Am on my way.
Will you help
To keep my heart alive?
Give me silence,
And give me time.
Give me a good thought,
To fix my mind.

I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,
To burn your body,
But I cannot remain,

A lover under fire.

And I,
I wanna honor my name,
Because time,
Is an endless highway.
And life,
Daring, it just ain´t.
Would you lighten the silence
In the dark that awaits?

I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,
To burn your body.
I could pledge my allegiance
To your heart and your blood.

But I cannot remain,
A lover under fire.

I wanna die singing your favorite song,
In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off.
Smoking cigarettes ´til the fire starts,
´Til there´s nothing but a burnt cross and broken hearts.
I wanna live in the shadows with him,
Make him do the to things I might have done
Till you, can´t get away from my kind of sin,
There´s nothing left to burn and nowhere to run.

I could be there,
On your death bed
To pass you over,
When you are older,

To burn your body,
I could pledge my allegiance,
To your heart and your blood.
But I cannot remain,
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
A lover under fire.
