[English]

I'll walk through all the fire for you

Our love still here after I'm gone

You'll pull me close enough to

Hear a whisper

Say nothin' at all

It's times like these, at least for me

You make things better after all

With times like these at least we'll be

Our love still here after it all

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(Yellow motherfuckin' Claw!)

I'll walk through all the fire for you

Our love still here after I'm gone

You'll pull me close enough to

Hear a whisper

Say nothin' at all

It's times like these at least for me

You make things better after all

With times like these at least we'll be

Our love still here after it all

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

...

(Yellow motherfuckin' Claw!)

...

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)

(After it all)
