Set Afire Lyrics by Kiske/Somerville

Kiske/Somerville

2010

[Intro (instrumental)]
[Verse 1 (Amanda Somerville)]
From the day we met
I could tell you were suspicious
Right down to the core
Of what I want, who I am
And what I'm not
[Verse 2 (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville)]
Every page was blank
Wherein the answers sank
But I'm no open book to analyze
Or pick apart
[Chorus (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville, Amanda Somerville)]
Set fire to the vow you break
Liar, you're only escaping
Your fire was your own mistake
I'm charged, scarring
Set afire
[Verse 3 (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville)]
When your eyes turned black
And the river ran malicious
In the blistered night
I was sound asleep
So I let my anchor down
[Verse 4 (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville)]
Climbed onto your shores
Seeking shelter and warmth
Then thе sirens screamed thеir
Jagged threats into space
[Chorus (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville, Amanda Somerville)]
Set fire to the vow you break
Liar, you're only escaping
Your fire was your own mistake
I'm charged, scarring
Set afire
[Solo (instrumental)]
[Bridge (Amanda Somerville, Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville)]
Crawl over the starboard side
With your knife in your teeth
Sink it deep the time and twist
A scarlet kiss
She'll never know what hit her
When the pirate has come
Sink it deep and move along
You're never wrong
Speak and make your peace
Carve your name in me
And practice skillfully
The seditious acts you can't control
So dry your eyes
I disbelieve your every word
Do you feel the shame
Set your silence aflame
Of the treason making me believe
I'm the one?
[Chorus (Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville, Amanda Somerville)]
Set fire to the vow you break
Liar, you're only escaping
Your fire was your own mistake
I'm charged, scarring
The price of your flame
Set afire
