Lethal Devotion

from Metal Is Metal! EP by Chris Ward

/

about

'Lethal Devotion' is the second track from the Metal Is Metal! EP by Chris Ward. The song is about an inmate in a prison who is in love with someone who is on the outside. The inmate hopes that their lover is waiting for them when they are released, but decides that they will still try to find them, even if they are not waiting. The title of the song is based on the name of a mission within the 2009 video game ‘Dead Space’ - the song’s content, however is totally unrelated to the game.

lyrics

Verse 1
A long time ago when I was so carefree
I made mistakes ‘cause I was too blind to see
I got sent to prison to pay my dues
Please wait for me out there I’ve got nothing left to lose

Pre-Chorus
I’m biding my time
Until you tell me when
I ask you my love
When will I see you again?

Chorus
Lethal devotion (for one I can’t see)
I’m left with confusion (you’re not by my side)
Too much emotion (is building in me)
Beyond the illusion, there’s no place to hide

Verse 2
When I get out I will hold you once more
I’ll spend my whole life waiting by your door
I’ll care for you always in my own special way
Don’t want anyone else no matter what you say

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Chorus [Extended]
Lethal devotion (for one I can’t see)
I’m left with confusion (you’re not by my side)
Too much emotion (is building in me)
Beyond the illusion, there’s no place to hide

Lethal devotion (is what it must be)
I’m left with confusion (while I’m stuck inside)
Too much emotion (it’s easy to see)
Beyond the illusion, I know that you lied!

Bridge
On that fateful day
It was true love at first write
I knew back then you’d never change
You’d never see the light.
But on that very special day
The truth was clear to me
I knew I had to have you
And that we were meant to be!

Verse 3
Now that I’m free I know what I’m going to do
Got nothing but a name but I will find you
Might take me years but I’ll search everyday
And if you don’t want me I’ll search anyway

Repeat Pre-Chorus

Repeat Chorus [Extended]
