Text

Written under, the wires crossed
The symphony begins to swell
One, two, three and red on my bones
Everything’s blood and all is well

Waltz with war and tango death
Fate is but the archer’s eye
The reverie begins to play
Everything’s blood; let arrows fly

I breathe your blood, I bleed my name
We’re lost within a sea of red
Your name is written in my bones
Everything’s blood where angels fled

Fired until we cannot break
Mark the clock for time will tell
The music clicks beneath the gun
Everything’s blood and all is well

1. 1. Written under, the wires crossed
   2. The symphony begins to swell
   3. One, two, three and red on my bones
   4. Everything’s blood and all is well

   2. Fate is but the archer’s eye
   3. The reverie begins to play
   4. Everything’s blood; let arrows fly
3. 1. I breathe your blood, I bleed my name
   2. We’re lost within a sea of red
   3. Your name is written in my bones
   4. Everything’s blood where angels fled
4. 1. Fired until we cannot break
   2. Mark the clock for time will tell
   3. The music clicks beneath the gun
   4. Everything’s blood and all is well
