Lyrics
SWORDFIGHT
We're playing a game
It's more like a duel
It's a dual to the death
The death of our love
You build a life Out of brick and stone
Work your fingers to the bone
Tried to work it out
Didn't quite turn out
As life goes on
And it's all wrong
It's a stab in the back
It's a fact
The sword goes in
Long and deep
I lie awake
Because I can't sleep
The sword comes out
All drenched in blood
The guts come forward
With a thud
We're playing a game
It's more like a duel
It's a dual to the death
The death of our love
