Strange Fire

You can go to the east to find your
Your inner hemisphere
You say we're under the same sky babe
Your bound to realize honey it's not that clear
I'm not your promised land oh no
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun

I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight

Well, the meanings changed
For what it's worth
It's just a senseless game
Well i should think of love
But it's fear every time i hear
Honey your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man
It's not the call of time
It's just the london skyline sweetheart
Telling me you're not mine

I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight

My blood is running dry
My skin is, my skin is growing thin
For every time you find yourself
You loose a little bit of me honey from within
It's just a raging cycle
Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line
From inside this existence, sweetheart
Time is not on my side

I'm lonely tonight
I'm missing you now
I'm wanting your love
And you're giving it out
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight
I'm lonely tonight

I'm not your promised land
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised one
(honey i'm trying to tell you that i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised land
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your land of canaan
(i'm lonely tonight)
I'm not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I'm lonely tonight

We use to walk in each other arms
"it was one on one," that's what you said
Now the moon is a sliver in our eye
We stumble bleeding on this broken glass

There was too much repetition
(over and over and over again)
You know we're past the point of sane
(over and over and over again)
All this broken glass you left behind
Won't let you make a clean, clean
I said walk away

Now we're crossing from the sacred ground
Where we once held each other, and each other's names
And the words are sparse, and we feel so profound
But babe you know all i feel, honey i feel so ashamed

Ah cause there was, there was too much repetition
Ah you know you know you know
You know we're past the point of sane
Ah oh
All this broken glass we left behind
It won't let us make a clean, clean
I said walk away
Ah yeah walk away
Oh no walk away
Baby baby walk away
Ah oh
I said walk away
Walk away
Oh no walk away
Baby baby walk away

There was a time when we gave everything
And it was true babe, true enough to bleed
(true enough to bleed baby)
But now you feel that you've got nothing left
If there's nothing to lose babe
Ah babe don't you know by now
Then there's nothing to gain
Ah no walk away
Ah no walk away
Oh baby baby walk away

You know i'd still hold you if i could
Its hard not to try and change try to change your mind
I'm a pillar of salt and i want you to understand me
Cause honey this is the last time, it's the last time
I ever look behind
Ah yeah walk away
Ah no walk away
Baby baby walk away
All right
Let's go

Ah i said walk away
Ah yeah walk away
Ah no walk away
Baby baby walk away
Ah no i said walk away
(don't you know we used to walk)
Come on now baby walk away
(in each others arms)
I said close your eyes walk away
(hand in hand)
Baby baby try to listen to me i want to tell you
(that's what you said to be baby yeah)
Now walk away
(now the moon)
Ah yeah walk away
(is a sliver in our eyes)
Try to learn to look inside walk away
(and we stumble)
Baby baby baby baby baby baby
(walking on broken glass)
I said walk away come on now baby
Walk away
I said listen to me
Walk away baby baby
Now i've got something that i want to tell you
Walk away
Ah no walk away
Ah baby
I said you've got to know by now
Come on baby

Crazy game
I never should have started to play
But now you couldn't tear me away
Love is sweet sweet baby
So good to you
And so bad
And i fear
The situations clear before my eyes
Confusion wants to break me and it tries
I've been a little bit stronger from the start
Listen to my heart

Cause if you're ever believing
I'm thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause it's a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And it's true
I'll wait for you

You dry your tears
Don't be thinking grey is here to stay
Sometimes everything is in the way
You're wanting to look at it
Turn your view around
Dry your eyes
Eyes like yours should carry a smile
I haven't seen them sparkle in a while
Give it one more try
Dry your eyes

Cause if you're ever believing
I'm thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause it's a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And it's true
I'll wait for you

Well you followed me this far
Did you find out what's inside
Can you tell me what i'm doing
Is it something i should hide
I don't know for sure
I don't wanna find out what i left there for

I'm not scared and i'm not lonely
Saving all my money or my breath
I'm not looking for an answer
Or anyone to second guess no

You told me all your secrets
And i filled you up with lies
Now i'm living honestly
Because i said goodbye
I can't go home anymore
I don't wanna find out what i left there for

I'm not scared and i'm not lonely
Saving all my money or my breath
I'm not looking for an answer
I'm not asking anyone to second guess

I was losing all my senses
I was losing all control
It was getting so offensive
Now you want me back for more
And i just won't go

If you think you know the answers
You've got a lot of gall
Cause it gives you satisfaction
Knowing nothing at all
I don't care anymore
And i don't wanna find out what i left there for
What i left there for

I'm not scared and i'm not lonely
Saving all my money or my breath
I'm not looking for an answer
I'm not asking anyone to take a second guess no

I'm not scared and i'm not lonely
Saving all my money or my breath yeah
I'm not looking for an answer
I'm not asking anyone to take a second guess no
Take a second guess yeah
Take a second guess yeah
(hey)
Take a second guess yeah
(hey)
Take a second guess yeah
Take a second guess
(i can't talk to you)
Take a second guess
(yeah, yeah i know)
Take a second guess
(well i gotta go okay)
Take a second guess
Take a second guess
(over one billion served)
Take a second guess
Oh yeah

I come to you with strange fire
I make an offering of love
The incense of my soul is burned
By the fire in my blood
I come with a softer answer
To the questions that lie in your path
I want to harbor you from the anger
Find a refuge from the wrath

This is a message
A message of love
Love that moves from the inside out
Love that never grows tired
I come to you with strange fire
Fire

Mercenaries of the shrine
Now who are you to speak for god
With haughty eyes and lying tongues
And hands that shed innocent blood
Now who delivered you the power
To interpret calvary
You gamble away our freedom
To gain your own authority

Find another state of mind
You know it's time we all learned
To grab hold
Strange fire burns
With the motion of love


Fire
Fire

When you learn to love yourself
You will dissolve all the stones that are cast
Now you will learn to burn the icing sky
To melt the waxen mask
I said to have the gift of true release
This is a peace that will take you higher
Oh i come to you with my offering
I bring you strange fire

This is a message
A message of love
Love that moves from the inside out
Love that never grows tired
I come to you with strange fire
Fire
Fire
I come to you with strange fire
