Lyrics New Model Army

New Model Army

Fate

I put my hands into the roaring flames

I felt the pain as it started to burn

I've done the same thing over again and again

As if I never ever wanted to learn

Moving through the world at obsession speed

Leave a dust trail crossing the land

I'm crying out in fury to the gods of fate

Come on, get me if you can

I'm a master at the art of how to kill

I've killed the things that I love the best

There's blood on the walls of my home

Patterned with the coward's kiss

And love it is the key that unlocks the door

But you never know what's waiting behind

Crying out in fury to the gods of fate

Come and get me if you can

I'm screaming in the wind, screaming in the rain

Screaming in the face of the storm

Howling in out in the roaring surf

With the waves crashing down into foam

To feel something without a weakness

As She batters me down into the sand

Crying out in fury to the gods of fate

Come on and get me if you can

Now I understand what they told me years ago

How the stakes get higher and higher the further that you go

It's a bad time to look for forgiveness

It's a bad time for searching for home

The Wall came down in a thousand pieces

Now everybody's building their own

Disillusioned little children of the Western World

Time hangs heavy in our hands

We cry out in our fury to the gods of fate

Come on and get us if you can

We're crying out in our pride to the gods of fate

Come on and get us if you can

I'm crying out to the gods who couldn't care less

Come and get me if you can
