Firepower Lyrics - The First Day - Robert Fripp

He beats the door and breaks his watch 

Raids the fridge and eats the lot 

No room for silence, pause of thought 

To ease the hurt inside him 

They placed a barrel at his head 

Raging blind and rising 

Cursed by saints and all the rest 

He can`t stand up for trying 

Shot through with anger and desire 

A mouth to feed, a room for hire 

He drinks 'goodbyes', the bottle dry 

Brutalised but smiling 

Causing casualties by the hour 

Outweighed by stars 

And Firepower 

Causing casualties by the hour 

Waylayed by stars 

And Firepower 

He beats the door and breaks the lock 

Afraid to sleep he won`t let up 

No room for silence, pause or thought 

To ease the hurt inside him
