CITY OF FIRE LYRICS

1. Carve Your Name

Cast my name into your shadow
Carve your name in my heart
Cut it deep
Make it bleed

(Ah!)

(What is love…)
What is love without pain?
Empty heart
What is love without pain?
Torn apart

Carve your name
Cut it deep
Make it bleed

Cast my name into your shadow
Carve your name in my heart

No one ever will, no one ever will
No one ever will believe
No one ever will, no one ever will
No one ever will believe

What is love without pain? [4x]

Carve your name on me
Cut it to my skin
Make it always bleed
So, I won't forget

(Cut it deep!)

Carve your name on me

2. Gravity

Your eyes are thunderclouds and rain
You wash it all away with the pain
When you're raining down
You bring me down
Please, bring me down again
Please, bring me down again

Your sorrow carries your dead weight
You lay it on me with your grace
When you lay it down
You bring me down
Please, bring me down again
Please, bring me down again

Oh-uh

(Breathing the life out of me)
You're breathing the life out of me
(Breathing the life out of me)
You're breathing the life out of me

Yeah!

Your heart eclipses like the sun
You cast a shadow on our love
When your heart sets down
You bring me down
Please, bring me down again
Please, bring me down again

Down again [14x]

3. Rising

Oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Burning the bridges of tears
Between you and I
Standing in an endless fog
And fire burning the night

Rise, rise

Like the smoke rising from ashes
The ashes that scar our fate

Between us,
Between us,
Between us,
Between us!

Like the smoke rising from ashes
The ashes that scar our fate
Standing on the bridge of tears
Burning...

Rise, rise

Like the smoke rising from ashes
The ashes that scar our fate

The fire is rising (oh-oh-oh-oh...)
The fire is rising
The fire is rising (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
The fire is rising

Between us,
Between us...

4. A Memory

[Spoken in reverse:]
Sigh sipping to the check off

When I'm down
It is the world that is weighing on me
When I'm down
I am in darkness without your love
My heart feels the weight
When you slip away
I surround myself with pictures of you
When I turned my head you were gone, you were gone
My setting sun
You are gone
When I feel sorrow
When I feel down
Falling through life without you...

My heart aches
You left and took the best part of me
My heart aches
It is my loneliness that I forsake
Tears fill up me eyes
My soul wants to die
Every dream I have I always see you
When I am awake you are gone, you are gone
My restless one
You are gone
When I feel sorrow
When I feel down
When I feel broken
I'm on the ground without you, without you, without you, without you

All I have is a picture of you
All I have is a memory

5. Spirit Guide

A spirit guide will lead to no where
Nothing but shadows in the freezing air
A spirit guide will lead to no one
Remember the heart that holds your love, yeah

Oh!

I see shadows of the morning sun
Like the crows that fly in murder
I see shadows of the lost souls
Like black birds that fly and murder now

God cursed me till i choked
Feeling so alone I could scream
God cursed me till I choked
Feeling so alone…

Walking beside me...
(No one wants to stay too long) [4x]
No one, no one, no one, no one who can

A fear of God will lead to no where
Lost in shadows of the rising sun
A fear of God will lead to no where
Lost in shadows, shadows, shadows

6. Coitus Interruptus

Ah!

No love for me
No love I need a release from you
Your love for me,
Your love is bittersweet

Your blood for me
Your blood you know that you're making me
No love for me
You know I need to release

I get no satisfaction
You always leave me high and dry
I get no satisfaction
Get on your knees, crawl to me (uh)

Suck it!

All I want is your body
Your naked skin on mine

Just you and me
Together we'll be
In time our skin
Will connect in sin

Uh
All I want is your body
Your naked skin on mine, ah!
Ouh!

It's the way you can fuck with me
It's the way you can fuck with me
It's the way you can fuck with me
It's the way you fuck with my mind

Can you down again?
You just walk away from me
Can you down again?
You just walk away from me

Can you?
You just walk away from me

7. Hanya

The mask you wear to lie to me [x4]
Oh, oh
The mask you wear to lie to me [x2]
Ha-uh

Why risk everything for one woman?
Why risk everything for one woman?
The same eyes
The same skin
The same touch you tempt me with
The same mouth
The same sin
The same curse you tempt me with, ah-uh

The world is only one, only one woman
The world is only one, only one woman
The same eyes
The same skin
The same touch you tempt me with
The same mouth
The same sin
The same curse you tempt me with
Woman...

Uh-uh, uh-uh

The mask you wear to lie to me
The mask of your deceit
Woman, woman, woman, woman

Oh!

Why risk everything for one woman?
The world is only one, only one woman
The same eyes
The same skin
The same touch you tempt me with
The same mouth
The same sin
The same curse you tempt me with
Woman, woman

Get away from me!

8. Emerald

[Instrumental]

9. Hollow Land

Quiet desperation drives me
The source of my dread and unease

Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now
Driving to see you
Love of dust and sand

Tasted my lover, wasted my day
Heartfelt in my loss and decay

Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now
Driving to see you
Love of dust and sand

Hold me closely
Hold me in your hand
Hold me closely
In this hollow land

Lost in her thoughts, I was in hell
In my conflict I saw it so well

Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now
Driving to see you
Love of dust and sand

Hold me closely
Hold me in your hand
Hold me closely
In this hollow land

Touch me...

(Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now
Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now
Driving to see you
Ghost that haunts me now...)

10. Dark Tides

Dark tides wash away
The silence of my days
Dark tides wash away
The sands of time spill away

Like the birds fly away
Like the stars at night fade away, fade away, fade away…

Dark tides wash away
Like falling dust in my grave
Dark tides wash away
The troubles of my day

Like the birds, they fly away
Like stars fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away…

11. Rain

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean
Like a desert sun that burns my skin
I've been waiting for her for so long
Open the sky and let her come down

Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean
(I've been waiting for her for so long)
Like a desert sun that burns my skin (And let her come down)
I've been waiting for her for so long (Here comes the rain)
Open the sky and let her come down

Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain

I love the rain
I love the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain...

Rain
Rain
Rain
Oh, here comes the rain!

I love the rain (Here comes the rain)
I love the rain (Here comes the rain)
Here she comes again (Here comes the rain)
I love the rain (Here comes the rain)

Rain (rain)
Rain (rain)
Rain (rain)
Rain (rain)

12. Last Wish

[Bonus Track]

I can hear you breathing
My name on your last breath

You take all that you desire from me
All that I am, my hopes and my dream
A single breath can revive a life
A single breath I have stolen from time

I know what you're thinking right now
I know what you're thinking right now!
I know
I know
I know
(I)
(I) I wanna know what you're thinking,
(I...)

In your darkest time
Love is on your mind
Your everlasting wish comes true, true
For you!

All your life you have dreamed of finding love
All your life you have dreamed of finding love right now!

I can hear you breathing (I know)
My name on your last breath (I know, I know)
I can hear you screaming (I know, I know)
My name on your last breath (I know, I know)

I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you
I can hear you, hear you

13. Children Of The Revolution

[Bonus Track]
[originally by T-Rex]

Yeah!

Well, you can bump and grind
It is good for your mind
Well, you can scream and shout
Let it all hang out

No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't

Well, you can Terraplane
In the driving rain
I drive a Rolls Royce
'Cause it's good for my voice

No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't...

Huh!

Hoh!

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't

That's right!

14. Dark Tides (Revisited)

[Bonus Track]

Dark tides wash away
The silence of my day
Dark tides wash away
The sands of time spill away

Like the birds, they fly away
Stars at night fade away, fade away, fade away

Oh!

Dark tides wash away
Falling dust in my grave
Dark tides wash away
Troubles of my day

Like the birds, they fly away
Stars at night fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
