Inferno

Inferno

Here’s your valentine,
This ghostly vision I owed you so long ago.
Forgive me if it’s ripped and torn
It’s been through so much to get here,
And it’s snagged on thorns more than once.
I swear on graves of fallen ancestors,
Whose presence I feel haunting me.
There’ll be no funeral tonight.

Chorus – You shine so bright,
Like kerosene lit up in the night.
Strike the match and watch us burn,
As the sky crumbles down around us.
Can you reach the hand I’m holding out,
Will we go out in flames together or alone?

Can I photograph your smile
And keep it always in my heart?
I’m tearing my heart out
Trying to chain you to my side.
So ignore the fact that my hands are scarred,
Like the bruised, beaten heart within.
I’ve fought a thousand wars to get to you.

Repeat Chorus

Steal the darkness from the corners of my eyes,
Paint yourself a mural of regret.
Don’t let your shaking hands fool you,
Just strike the match and set me free.

Repeat Chorus
