lyrics

Counted ammunition, oh the steel of my ambition
see I've got this condition and it won't let me sleep.
It needs me like I need it. I hide it then I feed it.
Spark the fire, let it burn. Stir and wake the ashes.

Nothing lasts and its gone too fast.
Nothing left and you're gone too fast.

Inspired by my demons, I set out in the night.
I knew I had it coming. I did it just for the fight.
When it was dying down I headed for the stream
cos' I'm not lying no more to no one about nothing.

Cos' I give I give, what did I get?
Nothing back, nothing yet.
Always was your second best,
no more looking back.
What can I say? Its in my blood.
Never had an ounce of love
or regret so don't second guess
any step boy here I come
singing......

Gonna watch it burn.

I say, left right left right
gonna catch up someday when you least expect
coming on soon so don't forget
walking our way to the watery depths
singing....

Catch it while you can.

Swimmin' in the river, well ya' gonna miss your dinner
baptized by the blood of all the angels and the sinners.
When you hear them calling... start to run,
start to see your future in the barrel of my gun.

Nothing lasts and its gone too fast.
Nothing lasts and it burns too fast.
