Up In Flames

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Calling out across a rooftop blackened by the endless night,
Expect to hear a silence but I know you’re listening,
And I haven’t felt a thing in days, I know you feel it too,
But if you could shoot hope my way, I’d shoot some back to you,

I hope this is our last stand,
And even though the world is ending you’ll still be my friend,
‘Cause there’s nothing that I would rather do,
Than watch everything that I loved go up in flames, with you.

Huddled down under a blanket as the stars begin to fail,
And there’s memories of something but I can’t quite place it,
‘Cause we haven’t heard a thing in months, these ears are no more use,
But if you let me strum these strings I’ll play that shitty tune,

I hope it’s not the last time,
‘Cause even though the world is ending you’re still on my mind,
And there’s nothing that I would rather do,
Than set everything I loved, to go up in flames for you.

Sending static through the airwaves, saw the lightning in the sky,
A spark has gone out somewhere, think I know the reason why,
I haven’t thought these thoughts in years, there’s nothing coming back,
So you can switch the station off, I’m sure the storm will pass.

I hope it’s not the last call,
‘Cause we’ve not had a drink since the sky began to fall,
And there’s nothing that I would rather do,
Than toast everything I loved going up in flames, with you.
