[JT Music - Back to the Fire lyrics]
The Winter is killer
Causing my blood to run cold
Just like the icicles I can
Feel crystallize in my soul
I find the numbness a comfort because
It's all that I know
If one description could fit me
It'd be abominable when I lost my fire
The fever to follow was awfully fierce
Freezing my arctic heart in
An armored locker
Not even arson could pierce
I got a disease, operating like a machine
But forgot - for what was I geared?
I became a robot when the cold dropped
Sub-Zero, arteries shot full of serum
As I'm tossed into the ring
Not one applaud or a cheer
Probably cause no audience wanted to watch
Me faced off with a mirror
I had to weaponize Edward Hyde whenever
My Doctor Jekyll would not volunteer
Putting me on both sides of
The conflict, either way
All of us profit tears
Not every hero keeps so clean-cut
No cap - I'm better off with a beard
Stark is the contrast in between us
Here comes a trigger warning cover your ears
Lookin' like a storm on the forecast
Not sure that's really what I wanted to hear
With a Civil War on my doorstep, it's a
Little late for any Paul to Revere
Hollerin'
Winter isn't coming, Winter is already here
The weather from which I've
Been running is nigh
The sky no longer so clear
My past caught up with me
Knocked me off of the wagon onto my rear
How can I trust the function of my
Compass when it was corrupted with fear?
What have I lost? Nothing but years
What did it cost? All that was dear
Which I thought would've
Thawed my conscience
It did not - it just disappeared
Like a wolf running from his
Hunger, when another more cunning
Hunter is near
Cause a bark and a bite will not win a
Fight if you're not holdin' onto a spear
Which one am I becomin'?
I caught the cold, because
The Winter's been so long
I got no spark left in my lighter
Now I feel nothing
But I need something to guide
Me back to the fire
Cause if a man can't change his
Stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes
When nightfall paints the world
All black and white
Bring the fire back to life
Sleeper agent reawaken when his
Peaceful dream is shaken
Free of reason, fleeting patience
Seething anger feeding hatred
Seekin' to find the wrong in the right
"sweepin' the leg is part of the fight"
I've become a hostage of
The monster inside me
I'm just along for the ride
Thought I was dead? Forgotten behind? Fallen
Left in the gutter to die?
Dropped my guard and I
Got disarmed, southpaw now
But I'll knock out your lights
Take off my face, put on a
Disguise, I don't wear capes
I'm wanted for crimes
You do this all day? I run it
All night, gone is the Winter
But not in my mind split in half
Which half is talking? I could be set
Off any second - watch it
Shatter your defenses, shed that
Shield you brought
Or get sent back home on it
Matters not if I happen to want it
I'm on this path and I have to walk it
Navigating while divided pilots fight to
Drive my mental cockpit
It's an unholy road ahead
But I'm already damned, i've broken bread
With both of the devils
On my shoulders growing
Heavy with the sins I won't confess
So sever regret - it's said and
Done, but remember to dread
What's yet to come
Forever the steps I take will set the pace
That my amends are meant to run
Better protect your wings, I was left with
None, when I flew too high
And they met the sun
Fell from Cloud Nine into
Hell's Ninth Circle
A permanent resident I've become
Another one of them fallen angels
All of our halos broken
We share despair, spare your prayers
God ain't savin' no one
The soulless soldier has only been
Shown the coldest shoulders
I'll go unthanked for my service
I'm takin' no more orders
Had enough of playin' dead
Now rover's sick of rollin' over
Still some tricks to be taught
Even if the god is older
The Winter's been so long
I got no spark left in my lighter
Now I feel nothing
But I need something to guide
Me back to the fire
Cause if a man can't change his
Stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes
When nightfall paints the world
All black and white
Bring the fire back to life
Two wolves are battling inside us all
So who will answer when the wild calls?
The one you feed won't need a fire while
The one denied is hungrier
Becoming a survivor
Crying fuck it all - wanna see
My dirty laundry aired out?
Nothing left to hide
Might as well let my hair down
The match is set
Yet there's nothing to strike
I guess the past is all I got left to light
The Winter's been so long
I got no spark left in my lighter
Now I feel nothing
But I need something to guide
Me back to the fire
Cause if a man can't change his
Stars, he can, damn sure, change his stripes
When nightfall paints the world
All black and white
Bring the fire back to life
Causing my blood to run cold
Just like the icicles I can
Feel crystallize in my soul
