Lyrics Ballad of Fire - The Welton Shipwreck

The step is not hard to take
But over and over again
We bend and we break
The same simple mistake
At the start with my terrible heart in your hand
And you tighten the grip
On the part with the delicate need for command
It's all built in the sand

We stay awake for days
While kneeling and feeling our way
Through vacuums of space
It's a desolate place
Fuel the fire with the furious ire of your soul
Feed the flames in the night
Build the pyre, an eternal reprieve from the cold
And so we'll never grow old

You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
But if you listen it's calling
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
But if you listen it's calling to you

You see yourself as a hero for hire but we all know
There's no commissioner calling
Your alter ego's just you in a bar with no windows
And you're rapidly falling
If you cared you could still give yourself a crescendo
But you'd have to go all in
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
But if you listen it's calling to you

You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
But if you listen it's calling
You've been ignoring the ballad of fire on the radio
But if you listen it's calling to you
