I thought I heard a siren in the distance
I thought I heard a child cry out in the night
Such a savage battle such persistence
Oh but darling I've grown weary of the fight
As we load up and find the enemy in the sights...

Hold your fire, I'm bleeding and tired
Hold your fire, can't you see the white flag
I'm surrendering, take your prisoner in hand

Hold your fire, it's burning inside you
I'm a man you're a woman we could ease the pain
Before you drag us down too deep
I want to ride your waves again...

Another day another night of explosions
We're the only casualties just us two
With everything we say the wounds just reopen
Can't remember how it started now can you
As we look down the barrel and hope
That our aim is true...

Hold your fire, I'm bleeding and tired
Hold your fire, can't you see the white flag
I'm surrendering, take your prisoner in hand

Hold your fire, it's burning inside you
I'm a man you're a woman we could ease the pain
Before you drag us down too deep
I want to ride your waves again...

Oh but darling I've grown weary of the fight
As we load up and find the enemy in the sights...

Hold your fire, I'm bleeding and tired
Hold your fire, can't you see the white flag
I'm surrendering, take your prisoner in hand

Hold your fire, it's burning inside you
I'm a man you're a woman we could ease the pain
Before you drag us down too deep
I want to ride your waves again...

Hold your fire, I'm bleeding and tired
Hold your fire, can't you see the white flag
I'm surrendering, take your prisoner in hand

Hold your fire, it's burning inside you
I'm a man you're a woman we could eas the pain
Before you drag us down too deep
I want to ride your waves again..

Hold your fire
