Standing, on the field of war
My heart is feeling sore
And it's dripping on the red
It falls onto the floor
Surrounded by naked flames
No longer playing games
My mind is filling up
With a destructive rage
Fire, fire, fire, oh fire
(oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
fire, fire, fire, heart of fire
Verse 1
Each day is a battlefield
Crawl out of your bed
Want to scream and cry
Cos life is a fight
How does one keep the smile up
When your heart is breaking, head is aching
Lost all who you are
Been burned and churned to a crisp
Leaving the house creates new risk
(oh yeah)
The sad truth is life just ain't fair
The good ones suffer and the bad ones fare
Well, for the part
Cos their heart ain't charred
and roasting on a spit
Chorus
Standing, on the field of war
My heart is feeling sore
And it's dripping on the red
It falls onto the floor
Surrounded by naked flames
No longer playing games
My mind is filling up
With a destructive rage
Fire, fire, fire, oh fire
(oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
fire, fire, fire, heart of fire
Verse 2
Turn on the TV and it's filled with fright
Police shot another young man tonight
Men dragging girls into bushes to rape her
No father to teach son how to treat her
Drag soldiers off to fight in these wars
For a waste of time spent government cause
Pouring money into weapons and arms
When it could be used to feed those that starve
Girl cries to her mum every day
Wondering when it's her dad's holiday
Shall give him leave from Iraq or Iran
Except he was killed in action
Chorus x2
Standing, on the field of war
My heart is feeling sore
And it's dripping on the red
It falls onto the floor
Surrounded by naked flames
No longer playing games
My mind is filling up
With a destructive rage
Fire, fire, fire, oh fire
(oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
fire, fire, fire, heart of fire

Gripping guitar solos fuel my head as SHARD'S debut EP comes to life. It's impossible not to bang your head along to these tunes that reek of fury, passion and vengeance. Zarina
Forget everything you thought you knew about music. Nanye's debut EP creates cinematic sounds in a heavily artistic way, creating one unified body of work. Zarina
What does it mean to be 'authentic'? Perhaps Nick Tann's latest album will answer this. His beautiful, rich voice choruses over a range of guitar styles and honest lyrics. Zarina
