ANNIHILATED LOVE

ANNIHILATED LOVE

Looking back I don't know how
I had missed it before
You secured the armaments
Walled off, ready for war
You let the bombs just float away
One by one
Surprise attack, why hesitate?
Damage done

It's Armageddon in your mind
You took the first shot every time
There were no prisoners or friends
Now it's the end, strangers again
It was anarchy with your weaponry
You killed off all that was
Burning everything till there was nothing
Brought death down from above

Annihilated love
Annihilatеd love

There would bе no armistice
Battle lines have been drawn
You would give no haven
It's scorched earth, sound the alarms
You firebombed the memories
One by one
Becoming instant enemies
Hit and run

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb
I surrender, I lift the white flag high
But now you're out for blood

Annihilated love
Annihilated love

The tragedy of the war we made
Was that I just couldn't surrender you
The casualty was only ever me
Still I run through the flames for you
Evacuate I'm a target marked
Bullseye on my broken heart
I amputate, I'm torn apart
And you got what you wanted
You got what you wanted to
Is that what you wanted?

We knew eye for eye would leave us both blind
But I was deaf and dumb

Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love
Annihilated love

I lift my heart, a spring lifts up
And yellow does it rain
My heart will be a lovely cup
Although it holds the pain
For I shall know from flower and leaf
That color every drop they hold
To change the lifeless line of grief to living gold
