Hand over hand up the lifeline   Luckily the knots stay tight   Silhouettes of the two of us climbing   Climbing up a rope on fire, climbing up a rope on fire      Trapped in a room in a fortress   Running outta air to breathe   Only seconds to go and we'll break free   I didn't think that we would reach      Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb   And save ourselves before the oxygen is gone   I'll call for backup, you start to scream   It's not the first time we've been in this dream      She ripped the wings right off my back   She whispered deep, "Keep it on the track"   She said, "You're no angel, no angel anymore"      All the wheels are coming loose, close-up shot of a burning fuse   The sky is filled with question marks, will the chains come apart?   These few seconds that I've left to go, flames and chaos down below   And the earth opens wide, got to climb a rope on fire      Look at the clock, look at the clock   Make it to the car but the car won't start   Me try to move the car but there's no more time   We'll have to climb a rope on fire      Hand over hand up the lifeline   Luckily the knots stay tight   Silhouettes of the two of us climbing   Climbing up a rope on fire, climbing up a rope on fire      Only the two of us can disconnect the bomb   Then save ourselves before the oxygen is gone   I'll call for backup, you start to scream   It's not the first time we've been in this dream
