Letters From The Fire - At War Lyrics






The weight of your words on my shoulders
I've always carried on
I thought they'd get lighter as I got older
But all I know is wrong

Each minute that passes feels like a lifetime
The clock falls off the wall
I pick up the pieces but they have no meaning
Cause all I know is

Hold your breath
And pray for the world to end
Nothing's left
Some broken hearts will never mend
And every word's just a whisper to the wind
I pray to God for angels he'll never send
Hold your breath
And pray for the world to end

Caught in a hurricane of doubt
The deadweight drags me down
The fire within me is burning out slowly
Cause all I know is

Hold your breath
And pray for the world to end
Nothing's left
Some broken hearts will never mend
And every word's just a whisper to the wind
I pray to God for angels he'll never send
Hold your breath
And pray for the world to end

I've been a soldier in every battle but my own
Never surrendering I fought each war alone
Only surviving, never winning
I've never had a life worth living

I'll just hold my breath
And pray for the world to end
Because nothing's left
Some broken hearts will never mend
And every word's just a whisper to the wind
I pray to God for angels he'll never send
Hold your breath
And pray for the world to end

    I don't know the meaning behind the song but for me, it a very strong and powerful message. For me, it is a glimpse into my head and and battles and conversations I have on a daily basis while battling severe depression. I have received therapy and help and I now have the tools to manage it, I am also no longer on medication for it, but this is what it was like for me every day, from the moment I woke up to the moment I eventually fell asleep. It is a beautiful song and I love it!

    Acabei de me apaixonar pelas musicas !!

  63. E.... A....

    This was my introduction to the band. Haunting lyrics that I never tire of listening to. Do yourself a favor and see the band if they play your town. They are on their way up! -Mark/EA

  64. M.... C....

    this song has been stuck in my head for days 💚

  65. J.... T....

    Anyone thinks this song fits perfectly with Trump being the new president?

    J.... T....

    Jelmer Twijnstra Not really, considering he's avoided WW3 with Russia that Clinton was begging for.

    J.... T....

    @AlchemicEntropy There are more ways for the world to end ;)

    J.... T....

    Jelmer Twijnstra Yes there are, but none that trump can really cause. You overestimate the amount of power that he has.

  66. O.... ....

    Great song!!! You won another fan!
