Iset) I set (myfriends) My friends on fire (fire)
well I looked at your grave I do not feel alive
(I set) I set (myfriends) My friends on fire (fire)
well I looked at your eyes I do not feel alive.
I set (I set) My friends (myfriends) on fire now I will give up
(I set) I set (myfriends) my friends (fire) on fire, now I will give my life.
If I tell you now I will not feel alive,
If I kill you now I will not feel pride,
If I kill you now I have set those fields on fire,
what's this? One More Time
Burn-Lies-Lies-one more time,
Burn-Lies-Lies-set, one more time
[whispers]
tisiv ot ecalp ecin a si lleh
hell is a nice place to visit.
yaaaaa/yaaaaaa/well I gave one more time,
yaaaaa/yaaaaaa/well I gave one more time now,
"The sun came through the leaves and lit them
up like it was on fire, Right at sunset"
Let's look the world into the eyes (like it was on fire) and say
just one more time (likeitwasonfire), much less.
Let's look the world into the eyes (like it was on fire) and say
just one more time, one more time.
yaaaaaaaaa/one more/
yaaaaaaaaa/one more time/
one more life when I pray it's time.
When I gave one more time, to lie into
the after life, one more time/I/praise/one more LIE
well I looked at your grave I do not feel alive
(I set) I set (myfriends) My friends on fire (fire)
well I looked at your eyes I do not feel alive.
I set (I set) My friends (myfriends) on fire now I will give up
(I set) I set (myfriends) my friends (fire) on fire, now I will give my life.
If I tell you now I will not feel alive,
If I kill you now I will not feel pride,
If I kill you now I have set those fields on fire,
what's this? One More Time
Burn-Lies-Lies-one more time,
Burn-Lies-Lies-set, one more time

Let's look the world into the eyes (like it was on fire) and say

well judging from the songs they don't sound ANTI Christian. I mean, they might not be about very safe subjects, but they dont sing about being against god. and i think i might have seen Will wearing a cross necklace once.. maybe..
