Lyrics
VERSE 1

They fall in line, one at a time, ready to play

(I can't see them anyway)

No time to loose, we've got to move, steady your helm

(I am loosing sight again)

CHORUS

Fire your guns, it's time to run, Blow Me Away

(I will stay in the mess I made)

After the fall, we'll shake it off, show me the way

Only the strongest will surive, lead me to heaven when we die

I am a shadow on the wall, I'll be the one to save us all

VERSE 2

There's nothing left, so save your breath, lying in wait

(Caught inside this tidal wave)

Your cover's blown, nowhere to go, only your fate

(Lonely I will walk alone)

CHORUS

Fire your guns, it's time to run, Blow Me Away

(I will stay in the mess I made)

After the fall, we'l shake it off, show me the way

Only the strongest will su rvive, lead me to heaven when whe die

I am a shadow on the wall, I'll be the one to save us all

Want it back, DON'T FIGHT ME NOW!

Only the strongest will su rvive, lead me to heaven when whe die

I am a shadow on the wall, I'll be the one to save us all
