I shield you from this life
Your heart is kept on ice
I file you where I need
And keep you from the heat

Running, running away

You hold me in contempt
Forever will I depend?
You file me where you need
But never kept me from the heat

Falling, falling away
(I shield you, I shield you away
On the surface, on the surface)

It's always cold in hell
I have felt it, I can tell
They file you where they need
In ice water there is no heat

Burning, burning away
(I shield you, I shield you away
On the surface, on the surface)

Burning, burning away
Burning, burning away
