Be Ready when I say Go (Emperors) lyrics

Hold your box of matches tight
 Keep the firelighters bright
 Let it burn and let it feel alright
 Share our bruises in the glow
 Let the firefighters know
 We just want to sit and watch the show
 We just want the fire in our bones

We got this one licked
 Be ready when I say go

Buy me at night she said
 Worms are always underfed
 Daylight never seems to wait for me
 Share disguises in the dark
 Tell the tiger he’s a shark
 We don’t ever want to be apart
 We just killed the fear in our hearts

We got this one licked
 Be ready when I say go

Feed us something we can tolerate
 Give us something we can taste
 Give us time so we can hibernate
 Make the waiting worth the wait

I told you we’d grow up to be the soldiers
 When everyone gets a little older
 It’s just a feeling that you want to never remember

We got this one licked
 Be ready when I say go
