"How To Fight" lyrics

"How To Fight"

I've tasted metals of my own blood
And learned to like it
I've gone under the knife of love
Dissected every vein and vessel

I know how to fight
How to fight
How to fuck
How to fuck
How to die
How to resurrect my pride

I've learned by now
That my strength has been forged
In the fire of pain
It's a warrior's world
Watch the daybreak
Set my heart up to be broken again

I've cast myself into the flames
And risen once again
I'm coated with dew like the morning
Wet as a newborn
Little horns
Little hooves
Sure feet
Uncut wings
Uncut wings
Uncut wings

I know how to fight
How to fight
How to fuck
How to fuck
How to die
How to resurrect my pride

I've learned by now
That my strength has been forged
In the fire of pain
It's a warrior's world
Watch the daybreak
Set my heart up to be broken again
