Woah

With out backs to the wall, the darkness would fall

Never quite thought we could loose it all

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire

An empire's falling just one day

You close your eyes and the glory fades

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away (fire!)

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away

Off in the distance, staring's resistant

Bottling up and festering

Hey Mr Motion, make me a potion

Shake it all up with your mystery

How come I've never seen your face 'round here?

I know every single face 'round here

A man on a mission, changing the vision

I was never welcome here

We don't have a choice to stay

We'd rather die than do it your way

With our backs to the wall, the darkness would fall

We never quite thought we could loose it all

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire

An empire's falling just one day

You close your eyes and the glory fades

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away (fire!)

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away

Back in the casing, shaking and pacing

This is the tunnel's light

Blood in the writing, stuck in the fighting

Look through the riffle's sight

How come I've never seen your face 'round here?

I know every single face 'round here

Here in the heckle, holding the shackle

I was never welcome here

We don't have a choice to stay

We'd rather die than do it your way

With our backs to the wall, the darkness would fall

We never quite thought we could loose it all

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire

An empire's falling just one day

You close your eyes and the glory fades

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away (fire!)

Ready aim fire, Ready aim fire away

Woah
