A Light

The Firegod

Release Date: 09/05/2014

Following the critical acclaim of his fourth full length album Let’s Ride and the followup single Heaven, The Firegod continued the momentum with 2014 EP A Light. A Light contains six polished songs that are ultimately pop, but overflow without a lot of instrumentation. Although guitars remain present within the songs, usually in lead form, the synth, electronic elements and beats are the most prominent musical element to the tracks. Lyrically, The Firegod once again delivers. There is an emotional weight within the lyrics that, when combined with melancholy and the contemplative tone in The Firegod’s voice, is a winning combination.

Lyrics

This Love

Like a beacon in the dark

She's always there

Always hot

But the moment you get close she'll burn a hole right through your heart

It’s so hard to stay away

It’s so hard to just let go

My body aches to have you near

Visions of you wont disappear

Life's an empty parking lot waiting for you to fill it up

It’s so hard to just say no

It’s so hard to let you go

This love will bring the end to everything

My life expectancy is growing thin

There's no escape, must be my destiny

Well, this love will suck the life right out of me

Bring me to my knees and watch me bleed

This love

A startled day starts with some noise

Gets you up, gets you going

Like a thorn stuck to my side

A bit of hell that gets me high

It’s so hard to make you leave when you are all I need

So let your fire burn through my clothes

Melt my skin right off my bones

Watch my soul go up in smoke without a trace

Without a home

It’s so hard to let you go

It’s so hard to just say no

This love will bring the end to everything

My life expectancy is growing thin

There's no escape, must be my destiny

Well, this love will suck the life right out of me

Bring me to my knees and watch me bleed

Well, this love

Well, this love will bring the end to everything

My life expectancy is growing thin

There's no escape, must be my destiny

Well, this love will suck the life right out of me

Bring me to my knees and watch me bleed

Well, this love

Move Me

With light colored hair

Freckles to spare

She caught me looking her way

Me and my clumsy words that spill from my mouth

I had nothing to say

From that moment on life is not the same

It’s been a torrent of fire and rain

The only relief has a song that I hear

That echoes when I see your face

So if the music is what moves you

I'll make these walls explode with sound

With a melody I'll embrace you

And surround you with it’s arms

Oh, and never let you go

And never let you go

I've been through worse

Yeah I've been through hell

But this is something that borders despair

I've bloodied my knees crawling back from defeat

But somehow that doesn't compare

So every time you pass my way and greet me with fleeting eyes

I'll turn up the volume and crank up the heat

Then show the world I've won my prize

So if the music is what moves you

I'll make these walls explode with sound

With a melody I'll embrace you

And surround you with it’s arms

Oh, and never let you go

And never let you go

I hear there's rumblings in the desert

I hear there's rumblings by the sea

I hear those rumblings every time I hear a heart has been deceived

But where there's rumblings there is music

Where there's music there is hope

Where there is hope there lies a promise

Where every heart will find a home

So if the music is what moves you

I'll make these walls explode with sound

With a melody I'll embrace you

And surround you with it’s arms

Oh, and never let you go

And never let you go

Honey (Just Call)

You say, “Honey”

I come running

You say, “Honey”

I'm there

Yeah, when you say, “Honey”

I come running

You say, “Honey”

I'm there

Please don't think that I'm just fooling around

Because I'm not seriously bound

Call, see if I'm not easily found

Down the street

Around the block

Or in that hole in your heart

You come calling

I come running

You come calling

I'm there

Yeah, when you come calling but you won’t find me crawling

Just call, “Honey”

I'm there

There's a whole new world waiting there at your feet

With a push and a shove I just might make you believe

But you best hurry up because it might all fall apart

And leave me searching for answers for that hole in your heart

I can hardly wait to see that look on your face

When this jumble of words just falls into place

You come crying

I'll come running

If you come crying

I'm there

Yeah, if you start crying with your makeup running

Just call, “Honey”

I'm there

You can call me collect

You can tie up my lines

Just know with any request, I'll be there

That's no lie

That’s no lie

I'll hold true to my word

No need to worry or stress

If I'm busy at work

You know you always can text

You know that I will be there

Can’t Help Myself

Sometimes I feel like I'm courting disaster

It approaches me ever so softly then leaves me in ruins

The more that I try that I try can't seem to shake this obsession

You'd think at this point of my life I would know what to do

I can't help myself

I'm too far gone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can’t help myself

Sometimes I feel so alone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

Some call it a game

Some call it religion

The harder I try can't seem to find the conviction

The more that I give it seems the less I receive

Just once maybe once I'd like to know how that feels

I can't help myself

I'm so far gone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can’t help myself

Sometimes I feel so alone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can't help myself

I'm so far gone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can’t help myself

Sometimes I feel so alone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can't help myself

I'm too far gone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

I can’t help myself

Sometimes I feel so alone

With no one to call my own

Unlucky in love

Or so I’ve been told

A Light

Life's so different now

It’s so uncanny how

The things that meant so much don't really matter now

Some days I feel secure

Others not so sure

Afraid of any change that might bring chaos to my world

There's a light that shines above us and a fire that burns below

We all make mistakes and wonder if they haunt us

When we’re old and too tired to care drifting unaware

In this make-believe existence that we share

I’ve watched my parents change

Grow graceful as they age

Though time and space will separate their joy and all their pain

As for me I'm so inclined to think I'll never find

The hope and trust that's written in their eyes

There's a light that shines above us and a fire that burns below

We all make mistakes and wonder if they haunt us

When we’re old and too tired to care drifting unaware

In this make-believe existence that we share

There's a light that shines above us and a fire that burns below

We all make mistakes and wonder if they haunt us

When we’re old and too tired to care drifting unaware

In this make-believe existence that we share

Brand New Life

I got a plan

I got a plan that will get us out of here

I got a way

Secretly helps us disappear

Everyone thinks they got us figured out

But reality brings clarity

We're nowhere to be found

I got a plan

I got a plan that will keep us safe and sound

When evil rears its ugly head and tries to burn us down

I got a plan

I got a plan where your tears need not apply

Leave them at the gates when we arrive

We'll rise so tall

We’ll shake these walls

A brand new life is out there waiting for us all

We'll yell and scream

We’ll fuel this new extreme

Leave scratches on the walls

New life waiting for us all

We'll rise so tall

We’ll shake these walls

A brand new life is out there waiting for us all

We'll yell and scream

We’ll fuel this new extreme

We’ll leave scratches on the walls

I got a plan

I got a plan that will change the way you breathe

The way you comb your hair as it billows in the breeze

Everyone will finally agree to disagree

But never learn when happens actually

We'll rise so tall

We’ll shake these walls

A brand new life is out there waiting for us all

We'll yell and scream

We’ll fuel this new extreme

We’ll leave scratches on the walls

A new life waiting for us all

We'll rise so tall

We’ll shake these walls

A brand new life is out there waiting for us all

We'll yell and scream

We’ll fuel this new extreme

We’ll leave scratches on the walls

New life waiting for us all

We'll rise so tall

We’ll shake these walls

A brand new life is out there waiting for us all

We'll yell and scream

We’ll fuel this new extreme

Leave scratches on the walls

A new life waiting for us all
