lyrics

I am Prometheus
I am the morning star
I could be a land mine
Let me be the land mine
I'm not your Jesus
I don't want your crown of thorns
I'd rather be the land mine
So let me be the land mine
I'll take you there

Call me Galileo
Feed me to the burning sun
As long as I'm the land mine
Let me be the land mine
I am the Magdalene
The whore of Babylon
And I could be a land mine
Just let me be the land mine

(chorus)
(I'll take you there)
I'll take you places you never have been
(I'll take you there)
I'll die a thousand times 'cause I was put here to please you
I'll show you sights that exist in between
(Just give me time)
For you, I promise to breathe every day

I'll be the land mine, land mine
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

I'm not your saviour
I'm not the chosen one
But I could be a land mine
So let me be the land mine
I'm not the settler
I am the vagabond
And I could be the land mine
So let me be the land mine

No I don't have any interest in playing side step
All I want is to be loud, all I want is to be proud
Without sacrificing all I have to offer
Tear open your heart and listen

(chorus)

(post-chorus)
Land mine, land mine
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Land mine, land mine
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Land mine, land mine
Bang, bang, bang, bang
Land mine, land mine
Bang, bang, bang, bang

I'm not the answer
I'm not the ideal
I could be a land mine
If you let me be the land mine
I'm not your Jesus
I don't want your crown of thorns
I'd rather be the land mine
Rather be the land mine

Just one step and I'll blow it all up

(chorus)
(post-chorus)

Just one step and I'll blow it up
Bang, bang, bang, bang
I'll be your land mine
Cause I was put here to please you
Cause I was put here to please you

I'm not the one truth
I don't think I ever was
But I could be a land mine
If you let me be the land mine
