Rope On Fire

Hand over hand up the lifeline

Luckily the knots stay tight

Silhouettes of the two of us climbing

Climbing up a rope on fire

Climbing up a rope on fire

Trapped in a room in a fortress

Running outta air to breathe

Only seconds to go and we'll break free

I didn't think that we would reach

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb

And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone

I'll call for backup, you start to scream

It's not the first time we've been in this dream

She ripped the wings right off my back

She whispered deep, keep it on the track

She said, "You're no angel

No angel anymore"

All the wheels are coming loose

Close-up shot of a burning fuse

The sky is filled with question marks

Will the chains come apart?

These few seconds that I've left to go

Flames and chaos down below

And the earth opens wide

Got to climb a rope on fire

Look at the clock, look at the clock

Make it to the car but the car won't start

We try to move the car but there's no more time

We'll have to climb a rope on fire

Hand over hand up the lifeline

Luckily, the knots stay tight

Silhouettes of the two of us climbing

Climbing up a rope on fire

Climbing up a rope on fire

Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb

And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone

I'll call for backup, you start to scream

It's not the first time we've been in this dream
