Alkaline Trio - Fire Down Below Lyrics






It's been a lifetime since I last confessed to you
And I've had little trouble concealing the truth
I've been nothing but lies and deceitful
Here’s the church open the people there for me
Apologies have taken on a whole new meaning now

You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

It's been a long time since I’ve last had words with you
Not sure what I see now to tell you the truth
About this feeling weighing heavily
On my mind and chest cavity
Don’t pray for me one day you’ll find
I’m sleeping in my urn feeling just fine

You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

Fix me a drink
Tell me a story
Take my head off
These gut wrenching words
Made my mistakes
My guilt admissions
Please pass a plate
And the ammunition

You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

You’ve waited your whole life for this
Beg for mercy and forgiveness
Nothing up above but darkness
And fire down below
Me and my friends waiting on your soul

You’ve waited your whole life for this

  4. d.... ....

    Favorite alkaline trio song thank you warped comp 07 lol

  5. M.... A....

    Its one of their songs that I luv the most, this really could have be a single

  6. G.... S....

    Sounds exactly like Green Day

    G.... S....

    Gayle Schmitz-Gerber sounds nothing like green day

    G.... S....

    Nothing like green day.

  7. C.... ....

    can't believe I missed out on these bonus songs!! I feel like a whole new world has opened up... this'll hold me over until their next album! Thanks :)

  8. B.... C....

    no lyrics?

  9. C.... B....

    It's rare I find a trio song I'm not familiar with; thank you for posting.

  10. T.... D....

    Still remember them playing this and In Vein at Warped Tour as 'new songs.' Nostalgia.

  11. R.... m....

    amazing song should have been a single 

  12. D.... P....

    Bert Alan You're a bit of a racist, aren't you!

    D.... P....

    @Denise Price No. But you are.

  13. D.... P....

    Damn we didn't get this track on the album! :( Great track.

  14. P.... M....

    Such a great tune, these guys rock.

  15. E.... R....

    Damn....listening to this just made me crazy nostalgic.I don't listen to most of the warped tour circuit acts I did in HS, but this hasn't aged a bit. Beautiful.

  16. T.... ....

    I think if I ever saw Alkaline Trio, I would probably reach a peak in my life's happiness. Especially if they played this song! Really sucks though, they finally played in my town (Albuquerque) for the first time in around 8 years, and I fucking missed it. Still haven't forgave myself one bit, but next time they're on Warped I'm going! I'm traveling to see that!

  17. g.... ....

    Definitely one of their best songs!

  18. J.... W....

    Hey the album was good.

  19. J.... W....

    Radio yes.. Mercy Me also yes

  20. D.... B....

    radio yes.. mercy me no

    D.... B....

    Radio is on maybe I'll catch fire... And mercy me is on crimson. This song is on agony and irony. Wuuut

  21. E.... S....

    Why the fuck have I only just heard this?

    E.... S....

    Erica Smith eyyooo

  22. A.... ....

    why wasnt the album like this song??

    A.... ....

    It would fit right in on Is This Thing Cursed? I think they reused this bridge actually for a track on there.

  23. L.... C....

    Love this band!!!! -3

  24. A.... ....

    I was thinking about getting the Heart from this album cover as my next tat

  25. i.... ....

    bored and sick is different. I often get bored with a song ,then listen to it weeks later, and I'm like.. fuck yeah that song is rad

  26. c.... d....

    Bought pretty much all their vinyls, CDs DVD and I'm bored as fuck with them.

  27. T.... F....

    Shoulda been on Damnesia

  28. E.... ....

    @0MidnightRider Yup. Clever and witty.

  29. A.... ....

    i can never get sick of this band i listen to em all day everyday.. My ipod has 80% related trio music, Matt Skiba, The Heavens, The Hell, Matt Skiba/Kevin seconds, Dan/Mike, The Emergencey Room, All Trio albums, Singles, Good mourning/From Here DEMOS, by the way i guess i forgot to put in i have 7 Trio tatts too :)

    A.... ....

    Allonblack24 you're as obsessed with them as much as I am. Five years later, do you still listen to them?

    A.... ....

    lead poisoning
    Can't speak for OP, but I've been listening to them for a decade and I have yet to get tired of them. I listen to "emma" at least once a week lol. Alk3 is my favorite modern band, hands down.

    A.... ....

    sure. but do you have all of the stuff that Derek did with the Suicide Machines?
    lol i'm jk. Do you have the demo for Mercy Me? I used to have it back in the day, and i haven't been able to find it for years :(

  30. D.... R....

    I think these guys use terrific lyrics.
    Anyone else think so as well?

    D.... R....

    Yes, very musically inclined lyrics, far better than most lyricists.

  31. J.... H....

    @dmon715 Uhm, I think 98% of fans would disagree :P Mercy me and radio are two incredible songs

  32. d.... ....

    This is a rariety... A song they should have been playing on their supposed to be "Damnesia" rariety tour. Nobody wants to hear mercy me, radio, etc, anymore.

  33. c.... ....

    Interestingly enough, this is probably the strongest track off this record. And it didn't even officially make it on the record. Agony and irony indeed.
