The Fray

I’ve been watching over you

I’ve been waiting with a noose

I’ve been carrying the world

Upon my shoulders for too long

I've been watching over you,

I've seen filthy things you do,

You know the error of your ways

And now you're counting down the days

Shy thunder

Black lightning

You try to cover up the pain

Boy wonder

Sense-heightening

He’s heading for an early grave

Into the fray

Going over (going over)

You’re cheating death today

The price you pay

Never over (never over)

Death be my friend today

You've been tearing up the night

You've been blocking out the light

Red sky burns the night to day

My brothers buried, words obeyed

It’s like you still don’t understand,

What it takes to be a man,

You live and learn but we still freak out, break out, burn-out faster

Blind orders

It’s frightening

Screaming to cover up the pain

If we die here

While fighting

Glory is all we have to gain

Into the fray

Going over (going over)

You’re cheating death today

The price you pay

Never over (never over)

Death be my friend today

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Over and over and over again

Into the fray

Going over

Death be my friend today

Into the fray

Going over (going over)

You’re cheating death today

The price you pay

Never over (never over)

Death be my friend today
