THE FIRES ep by JAMES+THE WILD SPIRIT - LYRICS

1. THE FIRES

I heard them calling out your name

I heard them screaming desperate you, you

I’ve seen your struggle and your war

I know you’ve heard it all before, before

You should’ve known

You should’ve known

Through all the fires

When the words weren’t right

I know you’ve never got it right

I hope you get to see the light, the light

I know you’ll get it right this time

I know you’ve seen it all before, before

You should’ve known

You should’ve known

Through all the fires

When the words weren’t right

Right, right, right, right

2. NO ORDINARY DAY

this is the curse that you will break

this is no ordinary day

this is the color of my eyes

try to find the words to define my life

but there’s no words ringing in my head

give it one more try is all she said

fought through the worst of all my days

kicked over stones stumbled in this grave

that’s where i buried my mistakes

cos’ this is no ordinary day

now all these words ringing in my head

they burn behind my eyes, well their bound to give me sight

all these words running through my head

give it one more try is all she said

now this curse had come along, tried to put me in the ground

but this is no ordinary day

i was sinking further down when those words came along

cos’ this is no ordinary day

now all these words ringing in my head

they burn behind my eyes, well their bound to give me sight

all these words running through my head

give it one more try is all she said

3. DUST AND BONES

there you go covered in dust and bones

you fell into the darkest tomb built it on your own

you tried to make her heart your home

she buried you and your throne

so where you step look under stones

you tread upon the snake and it’s over

and it’s haze settles in your eyes again

and your days fade into the night again

your left unto the darkest night

a desperate road your set to roam carries you from home

a fortune from a lover stoled weighs heavy in your soul

blinded by your dark disguise

she wanted what you sold

when she laid her head to rest 

the poison in your veins taken over

and it’s haze settles in your eyes again

and you say the sun is in your eyes again

and you say the wind blows in your eyes again

your left unto the darkest night

buried the knife deep into the night

tried to cover all your sins

pushed it further down til you could not hear a sound

what you failed to hear her say

she’s given you everything

she’s given you everything, everything, everything

the murder rest upon your heart

daylight closed behind your eyes

dust and blood were on your hands

the death of you forsaken hands

so leave it in the darkest night

and you say the sun is in your eyes again

and you say the wind blows in your eyes again

so leave it in the darkest night

4. SILVER TONGUE

i took the bullet from the words that you loaded in the gun

but you took aim straight away even though you know you’re done

put your weapon down

i can only see light in your eyes

you say you don’t belong, i’m standing at your door

every night, when all the lights are low

you say that you want me

how was i supposed to know

pulled back the lever oh the danger when she speaks with silver tongue

golden deceiver, don’t believe her she will leave you in the night, in the night

she’s a high rising tide, rolling in, rolling out

she’s a fire can’t deny, she will ruin you by design, design

you say you don’t belong, i’m standing at your door

every night when all the lights are low

you say that you want me

how was i supposed to know

look where you’ve landed

your heads filled up with doubt

look where your standing

with your heart bleeding out

lay down your weapon

your time is running out, out

you say you don’t belong, i’m standing at your door

every night, when all the lights are low

you say that you want me

how was i supposed to know

5. CONSTANT LINE

ooh, ooh

I am like a steel train running rails and driving stakes right through you & i

i took the time to tear us down, failed you in our darkest night

so i took the time to clear my mind, heavy in my tears i fight

oh, everything i know, this feeling in my heart i can’t hold

oh, you’re the constant line

running through, i run behind

oh, everyone can see 

that you’re in front, in front of me

ooh, ooh

picking up the pieces where the dreams fell on the ground come with me tonight

gather up your troubled mind, harvest up your fears inside

oh, you’re alive and bold, a sight to behold

oh, you’re the constant line

running through, i run behind

oh, everyone can see 

that you’re in front, in front of me

ooh, ooh

i can’t afford not to adore, you’re my constant line

i’ve said it all before, i’ll lay down before, cos you’re my constant line

oh, you’re the constant line

running through, i run behind

oh, everyone can see 

that you’re in front, in front of me

ooh, ooh

6. BLOODLINE

waking up for the first time

in your eyes i see my bloodline your heart’s on fire

breathing in for the first time

your lungs fill up with all the breathe

of heart’s desire, your heart’s on fire

this heart’s on fire

oh you’re the rising sun

oh you’re my setting sun

oh may the love come down

let me hear you say

that you’ve found your way

Stepping out for the first time

the ground beneath comes to life at your feet

reaching out for the first time

in your arms i see my bloodline

your hearts on fire, this heart’s on fire

oh you’re the rising sun

oh you’re my setting sun

oh may the love come down

let me hear you say

that you’ve found your way
