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
