My old friend / Need only speak your name / to summon a smile / I knew you when
we had so much more in common / it’s been a while / Winter was cold / the autumn was
dire / Love has no meaning / without desire / If we're gonna make it / we've got to set
ourselves on f ire
Something to believe in / to only be inspired / To torch it all to cinders
to only build a f ire
My old friend / We used to sharpen our blades on each other / for the fight / We used to
plead / with the f lame to ever only / stay alight / Our backs are breaking / beneath the
weight / Some albatrosses / some Aces and Eights / Our hearts are freezing / beneath
their tempered iron plates.
