Steps Ascending 作词：Robert Iii Keeley, Timothy Charles Payne, Steven Pedulla, Geoffrey Rickley, Thomas Rule
Steps ascend to a loaded gun The scent of matches hangs in the air A lit one flickers out in a heart beat We don't want to see this A flash of light that's letting go of an empty bullet case By the time it hits the ground, he's out of reach (Let go, let go)
Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) The wolves are closin' in There's no room left to make amends but Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?
All the time we've wasted Spent fighting It'll burn in the fire of our regret All the time we've wasted Spent fighting It's blood and it's runnin' down the stairs
Freeze the frame Between the gunshot and the hole it makes A spinnin' bullet hangs in the middle There's no way to stop it It will surely hit the mark You can try to understand but I'm givin' up Givin' up Givin' up They synapse fires, it's right on time, givin' up (Givin' up) Givin' up Givin' up
This should always stay out of reach (Let go, let go)
Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go, let go) Out reach (Let go let go) The wolves are closin' in There's no room left to make amends but Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?
All the time we've wasted Spent fighting It'll burn in the fire of our regret All the time we've wasted Spent fighting It's blood and it's runnin' down the stairs
I ran down the stairs into the garden Put both my hands into the soil In the spring you will bloom Like her heart through the blouse in the back of the ambulance As it turned and turned in the streets (Out of reach, out of reach)
One more turn, won't you come back to me? (Out of reach, out of reach) As it turned on it's red lights (Out of reach, out of reach) You were turnin' into red roses Red roses Red roses Red roses I'm not givin' up
