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 'Til there was nothing Brought death down from above Annihilated love Annihilated love There would be 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 know 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 too Is that what you wanted? We know 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
