Alter Bridge – Calm The Fire lyrics

[Verse 1]
Calm the fire, do not fight anymore
They don’t know what they’re saying, they don’t know anything at all
For all that matters is you know that this is not their fault

All the places we should never go
Lost between the cracks something wicked waits below
And all I’m saying there are some things better left unseen at all

[Verse 2]
It’s been so long it’s tearing me apart
I cannot understand or comprehend
Where we went wrong. Now we’ve come so far
The madness in our hearts will never end

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I’ve seen it all
I can’t fight it anymore
If I had burned forevermore
Is there nothing left to save?

[Chorus]
Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful, if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love

[Verse 3]
Is there no more have we gone too far?
There’s nothing I can do to make you sway
To see the blood running through our hearts
No different from the blood we’ve come to hate

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can’t deny
Only ignorance to blame

[Chorus]
Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful, if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love

[Bridge]
Now let it calm the fire
That burns within your heart tonight
For some are too blind to see
The world as it’s meant to be

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
I dream that we are colorblind
And now you know you can’t deny
Only ignorance to blame

[Chorus]
Cause now more than ever what we need
Is love to replace all the obscene
Something good and something beautiful, if only we could see
That now more than ever what we need
Is a little love
