White Lies - Fire And Wings Lyrics






Rollin' out the grand parade
Send up all the fire and wings
The butcher, here to gut the day
And spill out the sudden King

All the bravest boys
Waiting for the world to end

You never knew you were that way
The rifle came before your name
And mothers share a slice of hope
Smoking under heavy rain

All the bravest boys
Waiting for the world to end

And all the bravest boys
Are waiting for the world to end
(Over it before it began)
And all their favorite toys
Are buried there beside their friends
Where the world will end
(Over it before it began)

Huddled on a shadowed hill
The town is a fallen steed
Chocolate milk and wounded bones
The rumors in the trembling leaves

And all the bravest boys
Are waiting for the world to end
For the world to end
(Over it before it began)
And all their favorite toys
Are buried there beside their friends
Where the world will end
(Over it before it began)

All the bravest boys
Waiting for the world to end

    So much 80s influence in this, Gary Numan in particular I think.

  5. P.... ....

    I could see this being used in a movie scene where 2 sides go into battle, or people move to avert a disaster or something. Excellent work WL

    Roll on out the grand parade
    Send up all the fire and wings
    The butcher here to gut the day
    And spill out the sudden king

    All the bravest boys, waiting for the world end

    I never knew you all that well
    Your rifle came before your name
    Our mothers share a slice of hell
    Smoking under heavy rain

    All the bravest boys, waiting for the world end

    And all the bravest boys
    Are waiting for the world to end
    For the world to end
    (Over it before it began)
    And all their favorite toys
    Are buried there beside their friends
    If the world will end
    (Over it before it began)

    Huddled on a shadowed hill
    The town is a fallen steed
    Chocolate milk and wounded birds
    The rumors in the trembling leaves

    And all the bravest boys
    Are waiting for the world to end
    For the world to end
    (Over it before it began)
    And all their favorite toys
    Are buried there beside their friends
    If the world will end
    (Over it before it began)

    All the bravest boys, waiting for the world to end

    A new dimension for WL. Thanks, you always shake my point of view.

  13. C.... M....

    la voz de este man.... se parece mucho a la de Julian Hamilton de la banda australiana The Presets

  14. B.... N....

    Love this so MUCH

  15. A.... M....

    Was caught out by this track when i first heard it live, all the indie mums and dads pulled a face like they'd just smelt the worst fart known to man and promptly went to the bar. Personally I love the Black Sabbath doom riff and killer use of fuzz pedals!!!

    [Verse 1]
    Roll on out the grand parade
    Send up all the fire and wings
    The butcher here to gut the day
    And spill out the sudden king

    [Refrain]
    All the bravest boys, waiting for the world end

    [Verse 2]
    I never knew you all that well
    Your rifle came before your name
    Our mothers share a slice of hell
    Smoking under heavy rain

    [Refrain]
    All the bravest boys, waiting for the world to end

    [Chorus]
    And all the bravest boys
    Are waiting for the world to end
    For the world end
    Over it before it began
    And all their favourite toys
    Are buried there beside their friends
    If the world will end
    Over it before it began

    [Verse 3]
    Huddled on our shadowed hill
    The town is a fallen steed
    Chocolate milk and wounded birds
    The rumours in the trembling leaves

    [Chorus]
    And all the bravest boys
    Are waiting for the world to end
    For the world to end
    Over it before it began
    And all their favourite toys
    Are buried there beside their friends
    If the world will end
    Over It before it began

    Thanks sir. 😎👍

  17. C.... M....

    Reminds me of older Silverchair

  18. D.... C....

    Awesome! A touch of Machine Head about it

  19. M.... B....

    white sabbath

  20. S.... B....

    This is my favorite song from Five. Reminds me of Pink Floyd's The Wall album. Fantastic!

  21. v.... ....

    Have the lyrics sheet from Bristol, guys... Love it

  22. h.... ....

    OMG WHITE LIES!!! PLEASE, MAKE AN ENTIRE GRUNGE ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

    h.... ....

    Grunge? I don’t think so. Seems more post-punk with shades of industrial, gothic and noise rock. I like it so much 👍

  23. M.... ....

    When I first heard this I was skeptical as heck. Now, every-time I hear those first few riffs I smile. I hope this feeling persists. What a fucking tune.

  24. G.... B....

    from synth pop {TOKYO} to rock {FIRE AND WINGS} it could only be White Lies

  25. W.... ....

    Very very rockkkkkkkk!!

  26. D.... T....

    I've fallen in love with this song

    D.... T....

    I loved it as soon as I heard it. I eventually fell in love with Finish Line (kinda liked it to begin with). I often listen to Finish Line, then this. It works :)
