Lyrics

Battlelines

Warning sig your game away,
Inside I know where you are,
All this time a thousand miles away
You wait to tear me apart

So, let this cold battlefield run with blood
To hell below us, the heavens above,
Through every season
Unchanging with time
Just the elemental truth,
The blazing fire in your eyes,

For you and I draw the battlelines
And we never see the futility
A day will come when the war is won
Set the woman free
And the man in me

To the chase, a woman chasing face
Yet, in your eyes there's a trace
Of a child, the heart's a shallow place
A lover fallen from grace,

Won't you forgive me and save us this day
I never meant to destroy what we made
I had to leave you, my love, to return
This is no about reverge;
You were my lover and my friend

When you and I draw the battlelines
And we never see the futility
You hate the truth
You can't erase the proof
You're in love with me
Lady can't you see

So, let this cold battlefield run with blood
To hell below us, the heavens above,
Through every season
Unchanging with time
Just the elemental truth,
The blazing fire in your eyes,

For you and I draw the battlelines
And we never see the futility
A day will come when the war is won
Set the woman free
And the man in me
You and I draw the battlelines
And we never see the futility
You hate the truth
You can't erase the proof
You're in love with me
Lady can't you see
Set the woman free
And the man in me
