Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No man left behind
Pillow to nowhere
Buried alive
Paying my dues in the morning light
Superglued, wired and I'm tongue-tied, wrestling ghosts
Pillar to post
Heart in a headlock
Going for broke
Losing my cool in a silent fight
Playing with fire in the twilight, wandering home
[Chorus]
Nothing brings me back to life
Like walking out into the firing line
Call it lost or losing sight
Nothing brings me back to life
[Verse 2]
Six feet under the sheets
Deeper and deeper, gettin' the creeps
Chewing on tongues with tender teeth
Losing my count of the heartbeats, rolling the dice
Night after night
Masking the vices, disguising a crisis
Viva Valhalla, baby, in my dreams
Trouble-bound devil swept me off my feet, I was numb
[Chorus]
Nothing brings me back to life
Like walking out into the firing line
Call it lost or losing sight
Nothing brings me back to life
[PostChorus]
Nothing brings me back to life
